| The first part of
this book covers my life from age two, growing
up to becoming a cowboy. The chapters are
about the horses that helped me enjoy many
adventures and hard knocks. Second part of the
book is about some stories by and about special
friends. Third part of this
book, Cow Sense, was originally published
as an e-book in 2001 and
listed as a 'Cowboy How To Manual.'
Included are 40
colored pictures plus 'how to illustrations',
pictures of practical cowboy gear, animals and
numerous old pictures.
You
may
learn things you will never learn
anyplace else.. Your kids will learn
things you will never be able to teach
them and it might keep them from getting
hurt.
There
are 63 years of my life and experiences in
this book. I give a lot of
information on working with cattle and
horses, complete with pictures to help you
learn.
A (Cowsense) version now listed on Amazon as a Kindle addition.

Only 50 copies in print.
SOLD OUT
I've spent close to 17 years to compile this project and the information it contains you may never learn anyplace else..
It takes a lot of time and money to self publish a book of this caliber.
Great gift for young "want to be" cowboys and cowgirls.
A shorter version listed on Amazon as a Kindle addition.
