1947 The Cowboy Wyoming

This vintage linen postcard features the poem "The Cowboy" by James Barton Adams, a tribute to the rugged beauty and quiet freedom of cowboy life. The scene shows a lone cowboy on horseback with cattle grazing peacefully in the distance, capturing the wide-open spaces and romantic spirit of the American West. The poem evokes the sounds of cattle and coyotes, the steady beat of hooves on the trail, and the deep connection between man, horse, and land.

Postmarked July 30, 1947, from Gillette, Wyoming, this postcard is a nostalgic glimpse into a simpler time, when the cowboy stood as a symbol of independence and harmony with nature.

The COWBOY
The bowl of a steer to a cowboy's ear
Is music of sweetest strain,
And the yelping notes of the gray coyotes
To kim are a glad refrain;
The rapid beat of his bronc's feet
The speeds On the sod as he speeds along
the ringing rhyme
Keeps livening time to the. Of his rollicking cowboy song.
His eyes are bright and his heart is light
As the smoke of his cigarette;
There's never a care for his his soul to bear,
No troubles to make him fret;
For a kingly crown in the noisy town
His saddle he wouldn't change-
No life so free as the life Way we see,
Way out on the cattle range
JAMES BARTON ADAMS in "The Trail"
