| CLAYTON, EDITOR LAWRENCE Horsing Around, Contemporary Cowboy Humor Texas Tech University Press, Lubbock, TX, 1999, 1st Ed 1st Pr. Paperback. Edited by Lawrence Clayton, Kenneth W Davis and Mary Evelyn Collins. The tradition of storytelling and folklore reaches deeply into the American notion of national identity, and among the more prominent emblems of American culture stands the cowboy.
