Includes interesting tails of growing up on the westward edge of the Texas frontier, homesteading in the New Mexico Territory, catching and breaking wild horses, all of which was early training for this cowboy, blacksmith and spur maker. Maps of old ghost towns in which the show was seen and lists of now gone cowboys and horses provide historical reference data and contribute to the excitement of the Wild West Show.
