Agnes Morley Cleaveland wrote her autobiography in 1941 about what it was like to grow up on a cattle ranch in frontier New Mexico. At the end of No Life For A Lady, she writes that some of her peers later in adulthood made a living being cowboys for the new Hollywood pictures, and she couldn’t believe the stuff they put out there. They said, well, that’s what the director wants, we know it’s bogus! But it sure paid better than cattle, so… I wonder if that helped compel her to write her book to set the record straight on what it really was like to live in that era. Fascinating book. Just for whatever it’s worth.
