I enjoyed this book for several reasons. It is humorous, easily-read, and personally revealing in a way that might not be expected of a Western or rodeo author. The author gives his views and opinions of the development of modern rodeo while telling his personal history against a backdrop of the middle 20th century - depression era thru the Korean conflict. This book is good for one transcontinental flight. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys earthy humor and light reading, and especially to lovers of Western lore.

I thought this book was humorous and interesting. It was great to read a true story about a real life cowboy that was not "Hollywoodized". I felt that I was actually reading an untouched look at American history. I have recommended this book to several of my friends. Unfortunately they have been unable to find this book around this area (San Francisco Bay) so they have had to borrow my book which I originally borrowed from a friend. Please make this book more readily available. END

I thought the autobiography was very good. I liked the book especially because the author is my cousin and I have not been able to really know him as we live several miles apart. After reading this autobiography I now feel that I have really gotten to know him and his years of growing up in the same era as I was also growing up. I learned alot about the rodeo and the way it was run back then. The book goes into a great deal of explanation about traveling the rodeo circuit that I was unaware of. I would recommend this autobiographical book to anyone even if you have never been to a rodeo.
