James Barton Adams (April 17, 1843 – 1918) was one of the few cowboy poets published prior to the 1900s, with the book, Breezy Western Verse in 1889.[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).
