THE LIFE AND THE TIMES OF CLAYTON VIRGIL KANE

They call me Clay. If you ask me it was interesting times and though I'm not much of a talker I'll tell the story any way about the cowboys.

Clay's Cowboy Chronicles

refers to the part of American History called the Old West, Far West or Wild West. It is made up of the people, history, lore and culture around the time of the American Civil War (1861 to 1865) to just after the end of the 19th century. It is seen through the eyes of Clayton Virgil Kane 1859 - 1919. Clay's hero was Daniel Boone and, so of course, it includes Boone (1734 to 1820) as an influence and forerunner of the American cowboy.

AbeBooks Bestseller - "True Grit" by Charles Portis

Code of the West.

  • A cowboy always helps someone in need, even a stranger or an enemy
  • A cowboy is loyal to his "brand," to his friends, and those he rides with.
  • Never shoot a woman no matter what.
  • Respect the land and the environment by not smoking in hazardous fire areas, disfiguring rocks, trees, or other natural areas.
  • Honesty is absolute - your word is your bond, a handshake is more binding than a contract.
  • Live by the Golden Rule.
  • Look out for your own.
  • Defend yourself whenever necessary.
  • Never steal another man's horse. A horse thief pays with his life.
  • Don't inquire into a person's past. Take the measure of a man for what he is today
