Rezensionen

The Last Cattle Drive: 30th Anniversary Edition von Robert Day

I grew up 25 miles south of Hays, Ks and know the area and it's characters and this book is dead on. Some of the technical details may be off (the mechanics of selling cattle at the sockyards), but the spirit and the attitudes of Kansas people shines through. Quirky, independent, and determined.

If the only books you've ever read about the plains are The Wizard of Oz and In Cold Blood, you really, really, need to read this.

Road show von Robert Day

Diese Rezension wurde vom Autor verfasst.

This book looks good on my shelf; if pressed, I will admit that I'm NOT the author. This appears to be a film tie-in edition to a film that was never made.....
