"The Politically Incorrect West" - Article by John R. Erickson in American Cowboy Magazine

I like Loper's casual attitude toward fixing a fence and Little Alfred's mischievous antics. I like to see the little snippets of family life on a ranch and the dangers that man and dog face in the panhandle country on a real ranch and all written with a sense of humor that keeps me and my children laughing.
