About this ebook
In thirteen stories full of rope burns and brush scratches, the author of the classic Horse Tradin’ tells of the days when he made a specialty of catching wild cows.
Ben K. Green calls himself a “stove-up old cowboy,” and readers of this book will learn soon enough where the broken bones came from. Green tells of his adventures with wild steers, sharing with readers the years he worked in thorny brush and canyon country delivering those animals that were too wily or too wild for the normal roundup. Finding them was hard, even dangerous, work. Few cowboys looked for such chores. Green declares, “I got real good at it, but of course in those days I didn’t know any better.”

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Cows just aren't as interesting as horses. Still, it's an interesting look at the lot of the poor cow at that time in history.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Old timey cowboy tales set at the turn of the century by Ben Green who was earning hils living by being a cowboy. There are some humerous moments, but overall the stories seem convuluted and pointless. Often it seems that the stroy doesn't really end so much as the author got tired of talking about it. However the author does come across as likable,. Not a "classic" but not horrible either.
