[LM_NET] Target: Cowboy Poetry

[Leslie Radloff <LESLIE.RADLOFF@SPPS.ORG>]

Thank you to everyone who helped.  I also could "see in my head" the Fuchs 
and Janeczko book from another library and finally found it.  My, those 
pictures are nice!

So, here are the suggestions and a few more.  Gotta git along now 'fore 
the creek rises (metaphorically speaking, since we won't see much running 
river or creek water here in MN until April).

http://www.legendsofamerica.com/WE-Slang.html  This looks like a good website but I 
haven't gone through much of it 
(swamped at the moment with state inventory, among other things)

If you are looking for music to go along with any of it, I highly 
recommend The Cowboy Album CD.
