DO YOU KNOW...

...which outlaw’s skin was made into a pair of shoes?

...what Calamity Jane was doing in Cheyenne?

...what Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid did in Wyoming after South America?

...why the Bald Eagle became the symbol of America instead of the Wild Turkey?

 

Being the wife of a Wyoming cowboy had sounded so exciting – living in a log cabin, eating succulent venison steaks, riding the range to the soundtrack of a John Ford movie...

But no one had mentioned 'wind-blasted, manure-spattered days beginning at 5 am, or that the venison was likely to taste of manky old sagebrush soaked in rabbit pee. Or living in a dilapidated trailer house infested with creepy crawlies and smelly, adolescent cowboys because your first marital home was also the bunkhouse for the single men...'

Lynn Parr spent 10 years living and working on cattle ranches in the Cowboy State. Season by season, I Married a Cowboy documents life on a working cattle ranch, its dramatic landscapes, the unforgiving elements, abundant wildlife – and the colorful characters struggling to survive in a life that has barely changed since the 19th century.

I Married a Cowboy is also a history of the Wild West. From the Mountain Men to the Pony Express, the Oregon Trail to Buffalo Bill Cody. Everything you ever heard about the Wild American West happened in Wyoming.

 

Readers say:

"Beautiful, evocative writing. I loved the descriptions of wildlife and stunning landscape."

 

"Really funny. The author really brought the colorful characters to life."

 

"I never knew what life was really like on a cattle ranch until now. Very inciteful."
