James Barton Adams (April 17, 1843 – April 22, 1918) [1] was one of the few cowboy poets published in the 19th century, with the book, Breezy Western Verse in 1898. [2] Adams' works were typically published in newspapers, as he was a telegraph operator and knew many journalists. [1]
Adams was included in several collections, including John A. Lomax's Songs of the Cattle Train and Cow Camp ( Macmillan Co., 1919). In 1945, Louis Untermeyer included Adams' poem, "Bill's in Trouble" in the collection, The Pocket Book of Story Poems ( Pocket Books, Inc. 1945). Most recently, Adams' poems, The Cowboy's Dance Song and Cowboy Goes a Courtin, were included in the book, Cowboy Love Poetry: Verse from the Heart of the West (Angel City Press, 1994).
