About This Item
Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 1977. First Edition Thus. 277pp. Octavo [20 cm] Yellow printed wrappers. Very good. Gentle sunning to backstrip. Introduction by Neal E. Lambert. Although largely ignored by the critics when it was first published in 1956, The Brave Cowboy has since attained the status of a minor classic of Western literature. Set in a thinly disguised Albuquerque, New Mexico, this anarchist fable is perhaps best known as the source of the superb "adult western" movie Lonely Are the Brave.
