Out Through the Grind Mill

By Rebecca M Getsfrid and Charles Justice

"You have to take it at this mill just as you canThey never try to please you nor any other man we go it late and early, we go it wet or dryBut I'm tough and I can stand it for its root hog or die." Lines from Charles Justice's own version of a popular cowboy song during his time. A song that epitomizes his life. Driving cattle across the Dakota territory, farming countless acres of rented land, operating a merry-go-round, acting as an auctioneer, building miles of railroads, running a store selling furniture, racing horses, sawing timbers, he did whatever it took to get by in some of the roughest country the United States ever had to offer. Within this book is Charles's story, as he wrote it in the 1930s, published now for the first time. It's a true behind the scenes of some of the most famous people and places in the wild west, brought together by a man who lived it. He summed up his life as several trips 'through the mill', trips he found himself lucky to have made it through with his 'whole hyde'.
