A Collection of Cowboy Logic


Book Description

Some may consider pairing the words "cowboy" and "logic" as oxymoronic as putting together terms like "jumbo shrimp," a "plastic glass" or "deafening silence." The logic of living with a bunch of ornery critters, being broke three-quarters of the time and making your home just down the road from the middle of nowhere may be questionable, but for a few people like Ryan Taylor, it's as logical as breathing fresh air. A Collection of Cowboy Logic brings together a whole herd of columns written by Ryan Taylor and published in several magazines across the prairies of both the U.S. and Canada. Many faithful readers consider his stories wry and welcome relief for the struggles of life on the land. The scenes come from the dusty side of the corral and the muddy end of the feedyard where humor is the key to survival. Cowboy Logic finds the humorous angle in the everyday trials of a young rancher on the rural plains, and, almost by accident, it's a little bit insightful. A Collection of Cowboy Logic is illustated by Steve Stark, a nationally award-winning editorial cartoonist for The Forum newspaper in Fargo, N.D. He illustrated the book after losing a spittin' and whittlin' contest with the author. Book jacket.

Just Me Telling It My Way


Book Description

Tales in Verse from the Old West. The 50+ poems in this book are, first and foremost, stories. They just happen to rhyme as they weave campfire tales of men riding across a frontier of prairies and mountains. They tell of those riders' encounters with other men, women, children, animals, and sometimes with spirits not of this earth. Poetry, yes, but poetry in the tradition of Louis L'amour's and Zane Grey's Western novels. The man riding up to your campfire might be hoping to share your coffee or planning to leave you dead. Flash floods, grizzly bears, stampedes-even a joke that ceases to be funny can be as dangerous as a man facing you with his hand hovering near his six-gun. But these poems of the Old West also prove humor can be found in any situation, and the lone rider never knows when romance is laying in wait to ambush him. ... and the New... Cowboys didn't ride off into the sunset when the Wild West became civilized. In these poems a cowboy is a cowboy, whether he's riding a horse or a pickup truck, whether he's in the mountains of Western Montana or the hills of West Virginia where the author grew up. They tell us a cowboy is anyone who's always willing to be there for someone in need, protect those that need protecting, put in an honest day's work, enjoy a good-natured prank, honor friendship and have the sense to recognize a good woman when he finds her. In the tradition of the best cowboy poets, this collection of cowboy poems tell stories in which we can see ourselves ... at least, we hope that we do.
