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. \u003c\/p\u003e\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\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStan Hoig is professor emeritus of journalism at the University of Central Oklahoma.
