Showing books by Richmond P. Hobson Jr.
This well-preserved first edition is in good condition. The pages are tight, square, and unmarked, and there are no internal markings of any kind. However, the dust jacket is missing, and the spine exhibits mild signs of age. Nothing Too Good for a Cowboy by Richmond P. Hobson Jr. is the second book in his celebrated trilogy chronicling his experiences as a cattle rancher in the remote wilderness of British Columbia. Set against the backdrop of World War II, this adventurous memoir blends rugged survival, camaraderie, and the cowboy way of life, making it a captivating read for those interested in historical accounts of the Canadian frontier. Hobson's writing has been praised for its authenticity and evocative storytelling, and the trilogy as a whole inspired a Canadian television drama series in the late 1990s. Richmond P. Hobson Jr. was born in Washington, D.C., in 1907, and later moved to Canada, where he became a cowboy and rancher in British Columbia. His American roots contributed to the book’s publication in the United States, as his themes of adventure, independence, and pioneering spirit resonated strongly with American readers and publishers.
