Abstract

Cowboy Harris
Dobie, J. Frank | April 9, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses books and authors. "My Reminiscences as a Cowboy," by author Frank Harris, is the most absurd farrago of falsities. The author has certainly lived up to his reputation for ignoring the truth. If he was ever a cowboy, his memories of the experience have become so dim that in writing, he found himself obliged to construct rather than arrange them. The construction is about as convincing as the most strained Western thriller. The account opens with Harris working in a Chicago, Illinois, hotel in the "early seventies."
