Save for a very few, the true West Texas cowboy has ridden his last roundup.
Gone are the dusty trail drive, the remote line camps, the fence riders, the open pasture brandings, and the chuck wagons.
Fortunately, Scotch Bill had the foresight to record those stories for posterity.
Without Elliot and those like him, much of the history of the settling of West Texas would have been lost.
Elliot's subjects were varied-from the killing of the last buffalo to the end of the open range, from sear.
