We Pointed Them North

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.
