This memoir tells of the life of Cook as a hunter, guide, cowboy, scout, and ranchman in the western frontier. is especially interesting because it recounts his 35 year friendship with the Oglala Lakota Sioux chief Red Cloud. He probably knew Red Cloud better than any other white man. Red Cloud and his band visited Cook on the Agate Springs Ranch on many occasions and for a time the Sioux tried mightily, without success, to have Cook appointed as their Indian Agent. Cook was also a friend of the Northern Cheyenne. James Henry Cook (1857 - 1942) was an American frontiersman and historian. Known as “Captain Jim” Cook, was for more than fifty years a cowboy and ranch “boss” in the Llano Estacado country of Texas, and He served as a scout for the U.S. military in the Apache uprising. The book has an introduction by Brigadier-General Charles King, U.S.A. This book has 291 pages with four parts in the book and displays over forty black and white illustrations throughout.
