To be honest, the title of this book caught our eye.\u00a0 Just what is<\/em> a Dude Wrangler and what would his \u00a0diary reveal?\u00a0 Published in 1924 and written by Struthers Burt, this book is dedicated to all the dudes, cow-punchers, ranchers and horses the author has met.\u00a0 ( by the way, a cow-puncher is another term for a cowboy!)<\/p>\n

Struthers Burt was a noted writer \u00a0and rancher that lived in the early twentieth century. He taught writing at Princeton University. \u00a0His personal papers are located at Princeton University and the collection includes various copies of some of Burt\u2019s own works, correspondence with family and friends from his days at Princeton University, and assorted materials about his family and genealogy.<\/p>\n

The Last paragraph from the book is quite poignant when read in the context of our environment in 2012:<\/p>\n

\u201cI have said that the old West is still there, and so it is, and I have said that in many places it will continue to exist, and that is true, also, but I am afraid for my own country unless some help is given it \u2013 some wise direction.\u00a0 It is too beautiful and now too famous.\u00a0 Sometimes I dream of it unhappily.\u00a0 And when my blood sirs in my dreams I think that somewhere the blood of my uncle and my great-grandfather must be stirring, too.<\/p>\n
