Opis

"A Cowboy Tradition: Poems From the Heart" is about ordinary people who spent their lives living and working the land on the Camas Prairie. These poems are based on real people from the author s memories of growing up in Nezperce, Idaho and about family members who have passed on and left their stories in the author s care. Some of the characters like Charley are fictional, but could have very easily existed in the past. This is a tribute to all the vaqueros, Californios, buckaroos, and cowboys who are still out there working the herds in the traditional way. You are the folks keeping alive a way of life that is fast disappearing into folklore."

My poems tell stories of ordinary people who spent their lives living and working on the land. Some of the characters like Charley are fictional, but could have very easily existed in a the past. Most are based on real people from my youth . . . many are family who have passed on and left their stories in my care. Ive written them down to share with you. Enjoy.
