A Thousand Miles of Mustangin'

by Ben K. Green, Joe Beeler (Illustrator)

It was the "late days of the Depression", times were hard and money scarce, and Ben Green "had about used up all the hard ways to make a living a-horseback". So when he heard talk of the wild mustangs free for the taking in the Big Bend country of West Texas, he saddled a road horse, put his camp on a pack horse, and headed west from Weatherford, Texas. Ben recounts his tale at an easy lope, through hot days and cold nights, with dashes of danger along the way.

[Chapter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Heads up cowboys and cowgirls, this book is the real deal. Great lingo. I was so interested in this book because my father gathered wild burros in New Mexico for extra income in the late 40's.
