Synopsis

Cowpunchers, Indians and horses are the heroes and villains of these tales from the early days of Montana and Wyoming with bear and buffalo also making an appearance. The author’s philosophy on such varying topics as marriage, whisky and just staying alive will be of interest to all, cowboy fan or not. Charles M Russell moved to Montana at the age of 15 and lived there for the rest of his life. “In the spring I wrangled horses, in the fall I herded beef. I worked for the big outfits and always held my job”. The author’s reminiscences are authentic and recreate the humour and excitement at the passing of the Old West.

Superb, unique, incredible writing by Charles Russell...he crafts short stories as well as paintings. His direct experience with the Montana country during the short period of true open range, remanent Indian tribes and buffalo is extraordinary. Humor here also, and lots of yarns and cowboy language......more

What a great storyteller! I live the huge place called Wyoming and these stories struck such a cord with me. I love old cowboys and their stories and this will be reread often when I don’t have an old cowboy in person! Highly recommend.......more
