About this item
by Cecil G. Emery (Author), Ron Hamm (Editor)
Who doesn't like a good story? They can be told at night over a fire following a hard day on the trail or on the pages of a newspaper. There is no distinction as long as they ring true. With Cecil G. Emery they did, because he had an authentic voice. Emery didn't care which medium he employed, because he could use both with equal ability. He introduced us to real cowboys, men whose colorful nicknames belied their skills with a horse and rope and their everyday courage. Emery could make us laugh but never at people, always with people. Be prepared for a saddlebag full of compelling, gut-busting yarns as you delve into these newspaper columns from an earlier era in the history of the American West.
