| Summary: | Take a feisty teen-ages with a saddle pocket full of money, a herd of unbroken, but cheap horses in West Texas, and a shortage of horses in East Texas and you have the beginning of a trail drive to end all trail drives. In this book, veteran horse connoisseur, Ben K. Green vividly tells the true humorous account of his early venture into the art of horse trading, and the problems involved in driving over a hundred head of horses through the villages and cities of Texas. Nobody is quite the same by the end of the drive, including the wily young horse trader, the horses, the unwitting buyers, and most of all, the citizens of Dallas, but there are plenty of chuckles along the way. |
