Nickle-Plated
The cowboy’s term for the best in
anything, from nickel-plated decorations upon his person and riding gear to a
well-dressed woman.
The noted
Western historian Ramon F. Adams assembled this glossary of Old West words all
culled from true sources, with none borrowed from fiction or film.
It is a pleasure
for the Western aficionado to browse and I have no doubt that many an author has
dipped into this volume a time or two to give his or her narrative a bit of authoritative
authenticity.
This book is
indeed, nickel-plated.
