Kit Haddock and The Great American Cattle Company have issued a catalogue on the Books and Art of Will James. For clarification, this is not writer/philosopher William James. For distinguishing characteristics, suffice it to say that Will James was a cowboy. He was also an artist and a writer. However, his art and writing were entirely focused on life as a cowboy and experiences on ranch and range. He was the quintessential chronicler of life in the American West in days gone by, a man who captured the lifestyle better than just about anyone else.
