Present-day ranch hand Charlie Lyles longs for an era before mechanization, when a cowboy's greatest ally was his horse. He remembers stories of cattle drives and stampedes and shallow graves in lonesome country. Society has pushed Charlie toward a conformity that he hates, but he is about to change the rules. At a remote line shack in West Texas, he steals a horse, leaving a perfectly good pickup behind. His theft leads to a manhunt with a helicopter and assault weapons, but his trackers are headed into territory that hasn't changed in a century . . . and they are trailing a man born a hundred years too late. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e A Spur Award finalist, \u003ci\u003eWhen Cowboys Die\u003c\/i\u003e has been acclaimed as \"spellbinding\" and \"an instant classic.\" This new volume, the first print edition in twenty-five years, includes a preface and \"Requiem for a Cowboy,\" a documented account of the 1976 Texas manhunt that inspired the novel. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Texas Christian University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45124674650263,"sku":"9780875658209","price":1786.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780875658209.webp?v=1767901937","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/when-cowboys-die-9780875658209","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
