Stick Horses and Other Stories of Ranch Life

Here are true-life stories about cowboys, Indians, (ranch hands, sheriffs) and the milieu of characters that populated the legendary American West.

McRae tells about his heroes and also the town vagabonds who came and went through the landscape of his growing up as a ranch kid and his adult life as a third-generation Montana rancher.

Both humorous and poignant, the people and events in McRae's stories portray the living Cowboy Code. Enjoyable, can't-put-it-down reading in a conversational style from one of the West's best storytellers. Don't pass this one up!
