Lomax, co-founder of the Texas Folklore Society, which lends its name to this volume which opens with J. Frank Dobie's sketch of Lomax. It is followed by Lomax's own \"Cowboy Lingo,\" found among Dobie's papers, and by two other articles on the cowboy by men whose names sound out in the history of southwestern writing--Eugene Manlove Rhodes and Andy Adams. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe theme of the cowboy and the West is further pursued in \"The Cowboy Code,\" by Paul Patterson, \"The Cowboy Enters the Movies,\" by Mody Boatright, \"Billy the Kid, Hired Gun or Hero,\" by John O. West, and \"Laureates of the Western Range,\" by Everett A. Gillis. Next comes William D.
