Description

From the tale of Pecos Bill to the diary of a steer on the Texas Panhandle, this collection reverberates with the comic spirit of old-time stories told beside a roundup campfire. So kick off your boots and sit a spell with such legendary funny men and writers of the western scene as Will Rogers, S. Omar Barker, A.B. Guthrie, O. Henry, Paul St. Pierre, Stewart Edward White, John Erickson, Charlie Russell and more. No matter if you live on a ranch or a bunk in town, there's a laugh here for every funny bone, all inspired by the rich, ironic, insightful humor of the West.
