When Cowboys still trailed cattle north out of Texas and the Strip, the railroad offered special Cowboy rates for the trip home and the Kansas Cowboy newspaper offered reading material related to Cowboy interests of the day. 
 
All over the country, we're seeing a resurgence in recreating the Cowboy life of old. What better way to keep track of today's Cowboy interests than in the pages of the Kansas Cowboy! Join the C.O.W.B.O.Y. Society for $18.67 an' get 6 issues of the Kansas Cowboy. Cowboy adventure throughout the year!

The May/June issue features A Texas Droveress and Self-Reliant Mother. Margaret Heffernan Borland defied the odds by bossing her own herd up the Chisholm Trail in 1873. It s a one-of-a-kind story!  
 
We also have the final installment of Ranch Notes In Kansas, etc. Englishman Reginald Aldridge wrote of his experiences on the plains with ranching and other things. Published in 1884, the book is one of the best descriptions of 19th century ranching to be found anywhere!  
 
We ve got another story written by Will Sternberg. Using the pseudonym Will Starmont, A Close Call is a fictional account with our author as the hero of a tale based upon the last Indian raid through Kansas in 1878.
