Nebraska Stories; Tales of Cowboys Ranchers and Assorted Characters

By Craig Savoye

The cowboy mystique and the ranchers and ranching that are part of it is buried deep in the heart of Texans. Although cattle drives, Comanches, the cavalry and gunslingers are lost to history, if you look closely enough, Old Texas lives on. Texas Stories consists of twenty tales and character sketches about an era quickly passing: lore of cowpunchers and cattlemen, ropers and riders, drinkers and brawlers, and assorted outsized only-in-Texas characters. Humorous, entertaining, poignant-these profiles are nostalgia in the present tense. Equal parts Charles Kuralt, Garrison Keillor, Studs Terkel, and William Least Heat-Moon, reading this collection will leave you with a Lone Star glow. It's a curl-up-by-the-fire fun read and a great gift. To get a feel for the book, please hit the Sample Chapter button above, which will connect you to the first chapter.
