Chicken Dinner at the Steak House: Stories of the Modern West

By John H. Marble

"Son, I'm not gonna recommend the cowboy life for anyone, but there's a heck of a lot worse ways to waste your time. I'd venture to say that if you were to spend a few years workin' on a ranch, it might just change the way you look at things."

Behind the romantic cowboy myth are real people struggling to get by. You'll meet a few of them in this series of stories set in Baker County, Oregon. There's Johnnie, a good hand looking for more, Val, a strong woman fighting the odds, Dale, a classic cowman, and Bill, and empire builder bent on finding success in the cattle industry. As the years go by, we see these folks deal with heartache, rustling, and luck, both good and bad.

This book may be a work of fiction, but the characters are as real as can be.
