The Outlet

Beschreibung

First published in 1905, "The Outlet" is the fictional story of a man's experiences of the Chickasaw Nation, a federally recognized Native American nation located in Oklahoma. A fantastic example of classic Western fiction, "The Outlet" is highly recommended for all lovers of the genre. Andy Adams (1859 - 1935) was an American western fiction writer. Other notable works by this author include: "A Texas Matchmaker" (1904) and "Cattle Brands" (1906). Adams' 1903 novel "The Log of a Cowboy" is considered by many to be one of the most authentic depictions of cowboy life ever written. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction and biography of the author.

The son of Andrew Adams, who was of Irish origin, and Elizabeth Elliott, who was of Scottish descent, Andy Adams was born in Thorncreek Township, Whitley County, Indiana.

He attempted to become a merchant in 1890, but the endeavor was unsuccessful. He next tried his hand at gold mining in Colorado and Nevada. He relocated to Colorado Springs in 1894, where he remained until his death. His most popular work, The Log of a Cowboy, was published in 1903, when he was 43 years old and he starting to write.
