About the Poem

Some Cowboy Brag Talk is a poem brought into this world by some poke from the American West. However, it was Poet, Artist and Historian, Harry Jackson that made this poem popular in his compilation of Traditional Cowboy Poems. Mr. Jackson himself came across it in his many journeys across America’s prairie. He commented on Brag Talk’s (and many other of his songs and poems origin). “I crossed these songs under so many circumstances that I just can’t unravel a lot of them. It is almost impossible to try and talk of things as obscure and long set aside as where one first heard a song which he has been singing and forge ing and remembering again for 15 or 20 years or more.”
