It's been several years since I read this book, and also Wild Cow Tales. It's about Mr. Green's experiences as a young, solitary cowboy in the 1800s. Mr. Green later became a vet and wrote about that, too. Horse Tradin' is certainly one of the best books I ever read, also Wild Cow Tales. It's the kind you can't put down once you pick it up. I have to rush, now, but get these books and read them. They are the best and the funniest you will ever find. Wonderful.
