5.0 out of 5 stars Wit and Wisdom, April 30, 2000

By	Kit Frazier "www.kitfrazier.com" (Texas) - See all my reviews

Proverbs by those living west of the Pecos could make everyone's life a little easier. Sayings like, "Tellin' a man to go to hell and makin' him do it are two entirely different propositions," and "If you get to thinkin' you're a person of influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around," could be some of the best advice ever written.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kudos From Cowboy Chris, January 26, 2001

By	Christopher B. Jonnes "author of BIG ICE and... (Stillwater, MN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Pretty much everything we need to know about getting by in life is contained in the sage sayings in this book. One of my favorites is, "Never drink downstream from the herd." Some are simply funny. Others are downright insightful. This is the "Confusius says" of the American West. It makes a good gift, and the perfect thing to pass around at a gathering for laughs and conversation. --Christopher Bonn Jonnes, author of Wake Up Dead.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Code of the West, October 1, 2005

By	Rock Man (Penns Woods) - See all my reviews

I noticed that this book has not been reviewed for a few years and it's worth a new review. The book consists of 138 pages with a single statement per page. The statements are all short, accurate, and almost incomprehensible to most Americans living in the year 2005. We needed this book about 40 years ago when there were still a few folks that could understand it. That's the only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5....the author missed his due date! Anyway, if you don't read anything else, read that first page and live by it.
