James Barton Adams (1843 – 1918) was one of the few cowboy poets published prior to the 1900s, with the book, Breezy Western Verse in 1889. He was included in several collections, including John A. Lomax's Songs of the Cattle Train and Cow Camp (Macmillan Co., 1919). Most recently, Adams' poems, The Cowboy's Dance Song and Cowboy Goes a Courtin, were included in the book, Cowboy Love Poetry: Verse from the Heart of the West (Angel City Press, 1994).
