In thirteen stories full of rope burns and brush scratches, the author of the classicHorse 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.'
