How to Read a Cow And Other Essential Life Lessons

by Warren V. Hunt

Some of what ninety-two-year-old Warren Hunt knows about life can be found in these true tales of his youth living on a ranch in the wilds of Wyoming. What constituted civilization in the 1920s and 1930s was a sixty-mile drive away.

Learning to ride horses before he was big enough to reach the stirrups, getting tricked into being the primary wood chopper in the family, training horses to cut cattle, and learning to use a rifle were all part of cowboy life ... which was just plain life to Warren.

[Sam]

Montana family ranch life with an excellent slice of humor.

Recalling days of fun, frustration, and growing up among ranchers, homesteaders, horses, and cattle brings pleasant times and heart warming family fun to the pages of this blend of everyday living in a very remote area. Funerals, weddings, dances, roundups, and almost any possible opportunity provided an excuse for folks separated by miles and miles of horse drawn wagon miles to gather together for a meal and friendship. It was a simpler time with fewer distractions and more time to enjoy being neighborly. Most pleasant and well worth the time.

[BIG BOOKS]

Highly entertaining and humorous look at the real-life experiences of one boy on the Western frontier in the early 20th century.
