{"product_id":"the-humor-of-the-american-stan-edward-hoig-9780803273597","title":"The Humor of the American Cowboy","description":"To the cowboy, for whom the world was a circus of creation, nothing was beyond the scope of laughter. His fertile imagination could produce trail drives of dry-land terrapins, cowboy firing squads for fighting game roosters, and a breed of \"honk-honk birds\" that could outrun a horse. He used humor to express his fondness for the West, to exchange sarcasms with railroaders, to teach lessons to tenderfeet, and even--sometimes--to laugh at death. \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Humor of the American Cowboy\u003c\/i\u003e, Stan Hoig presents an authentic collection of tall tales, anecdotes, yarns, jokes, and humorous incidents of the Old West that not only entertain but also focus attention on a sometimes overlooked phase of cowboy life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanley Hoig\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803273592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803273597\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 5.40w x 0.42d","brand":"Stanley Hoig","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926193897727,"sku":"9780803273597","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_0f4cd54e-12bd-4838-a30d-e66eb7426c73.jpg?v=1681081719","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-humor-of-the-american-stan-edward-hoig-9780803273597","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
