We Pointed Them North by Helena Smith
E.C. Abbott was a cowboy in the great days of the 1870s and 80s. He came up the trail to Montana from Texas with the long-horned herds; he punched cows in Montana; he married a daughter of Granville Stuart. For more than fifty years he was known to cowmen from Texas to Alberta as Teddy Blue. This is his story, as told to Helena Huntington Smith.
Edward Charles Abbott ""Teddy Blue"" was born in the County of Norfolk, England, in 1860. He was brought to the United States as a baby by his parents, who eventually settled near Lincoln, Nebraska, which was full of Texas cattle and Texas cowpunchers in the 1870'S, and there he first joined the trail drives.
Helena Huntington Smith, who recorded Teddy Blue's reminiscences so skillfully, is a free-lance writer. Her special interest in Western Americana is reflected by the many articles on Western subjects she has written for The Saturday Evening Post, Reader's Digest, and other magazines.|Renowned western artist Nick Eggenhofer illustrated a number of University of Oklahoma Press books, including Come an' Get It, Bad Medicine and Good, and The Chisholm Trail.
