The Brave Cowboy (1956) was Edward Abbey's second published novel.[1]
In 1993 Dream Garden Press produced a special limited edition of the book that includes an introduction by Kirk Douglas, who was the star in the film based on the book. It also includes photos from the film. Douglas signed 500 copies of that special edition. The song The Brave Cowboy by Dale Brittain is ostensibly inspired by Abbey's novel, with a protagonist that appears to share in the philosophy and predicament of Jack Burns, but whose name is never explicitly mentioned.[2]
