A cowboy must be blessed (or cursed) with nine lives like the proverbial cat, or he would never make it to the allotted three score and ten - or even to maturity.-DUDE LAVINGTON Relive the wild, wild west, Canadian style! Dude Lavington's densely packed memoirs are full of humour, aphorisms, cowboy argot, and the kind of adventures that make folk heroes. Stettler, Calgary, Quesnel, Barkerville, Stanley ... places that come to life in this warm, colloquial history.
"Dude" Lavington captured my imagination and sympathy for the settlers of this harsh country. It is incredibly descriptive in its entirety. I am amazed at the accuracy of this book. I recommend it to anyone who would like to know more about our heritage and hardships.
