A Man in the Open is a book written by Roger S. Pocock and published in 1912. The book is a collection of stories about Pocock’s experiences as a cowboy and adventurer in the American West during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which tells a different story about Pocock’s life in the West. Some of the stories are about his experiences working as a cowboy on ranches in Wyoming and Montana, while others are about his adventures as a hunter and explorer in the wilderness. Throughout the book, Pocock provides vivid descriptions of the landscapes, wildlife, and people he encounters, painting a picture of a vast and rugged land that is both beautiful and dangerous. He also reflects on the challenges and hardships of life in the West, including the harsh climate, the isolation, and the constant threat of danger from wild animals and hostile Native American tribes. Overall, A Man in the Open is a fascinating and engaging account of life in the American West during a time of great change and upheaval. It offers a unique perspective on a bygone era and provides readers with a glimpse into the life of a true adventurer and pioneer.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
