Billy is orphaned at the age of four when a steer gores his
father. A year later, Billy leaves his home ranch--the only life
he has known--and strikes out across the land with Bopy, an old
French-Canadian trapper. Bopy doesn't speak English very well,
but they develop a strong friendship as they gallop across
plains, over mountains, and through forested landscapes. While
Bopy is busy prospecting and trapping, Billy spends his time
drawing, reading, roping with cowboys, and playing with his pet
wolves, Gros and Otay. Through his adventures, Billy discovers
what he values most and learns that he can weather anything life
throws at him, including a nosy grizzly bear and the harsh winter
of the Canadian north-country.
First published in 1937, Cowboy in the Making is a timeless coming-of-age story that shows how life experiences develop character. Will James' writing and his 25 pen-and-ink drawings capture a boy's view of the West at the turn of the twentieth century.
