During the 52nd week, however, he might erupt into a ripsnorting, freespending hell raiser bent on divesting himself of his earnings in the quickest and most enjoyable manner possible. What caused this usually mild and lawabiding creature to undergo such a metamorphosis? He was celebratingmaking up for the long and lonely weeks he had just spent on the trail drive from Texas. He was delighted with the thought that no more, for a few weeks at least, would he spend his nights trying to nurse edgy cattle into tranquility. . . .

And waiting for the trail cowboy and his cash, almost rubbing its hands in anticipation, was the cowtown.from Why the West Was WildNyle H. Miller and Joseph W.
