Description:
Billy is orphaned at the age of four when a steer gores his ì
father. A year later, Billy leaves his home ranch--the only life ì
he has known--and strikes out across the land with Bopy, an old ì
French-Canadian trapper. Bopy doesn't speak English very well, ì
but they develop a strong friendship as they gallop across ì
plains, over mountains, and through forested landscapes. While ì
Bopy is busy prospecting and trapping, Billy spends his time ì
drawing, reading, roping with cowboys, and playing with his pet ì
wolves, Gros and Otay. Through his adventures, Billy discovers ì
what he values most and learns that he can weather anything life ì
throws at him, including a nosy grizzly bear and the harsh winter ì
of the Canadian north-country.
First published in 1937, Cowboy in the Making is a ì timeless coming-of-age story that shows how life experiences ì develop character. Will James' writing and his 25 pen-and-ink ì drawings capture a boy's view of the West at the turn of the ì twentieth century.
