Product Description
Says the SOUTH BEND TRIBUNE, "This book is worthy of a book rustler." In the tradition of humorist Will Rogers, it takes a look at life through the eyes of the cowboy. It is filled with quips and quotes that represent the Code of the West, like: "Always drink upstream from the herd" and "The easiest way to eat crow is while it's still warm. The colder it gets, the harder it is to swallow." < BR>

Proverbs by those living west of the Pecos could make everyone's life a little easier. Sayings like, "Tellin' a man to go to hell and makin' him do it are two entirely different propositions," and "If you get to thinkin' you're a person of influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around," could be some of the best advice ever written.

Pretty much everything we need to know about getting by in life is contained in the sage sayings in this book. One of my favorites is, "Never drink downstream from the herd." Some are simply funny. Others are downright insightful. This is the "Confusius says" of the American West. It makes a good gift, and the perfect thing to pass around at a gathering for laughs and conversation. --Christopher Bonn Jonnes, author of Wake Up Dead.

A wealth of daily inspiration. I fervently believe this book belongs next to everybody's hopper to be included in the morning rituals.

I noticed that this book has not been reviewed for a few years and it's worth a new review. The book consists of 138 pages with a single statement per page. The statements are all short, accurate, and almost incomprehensible to most Americans living in the year 2005. We needed this book about 40 years ago when there were still a few folks that could understand it. That's the only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5....the author missed his due date! Anyway, if you don't read anything else, read that first page and live by it.
