Get some time alone, buy this for your spouse!

My husband can't put this book down! Baxter Black's clean and side-splitting "talk" is entertaining for all audiences. My mother, my husband, and my best friend have all loved this book.

A Will Rogers For Our Time

A few years ago I awoke to National Public Radio's Morning Edition and to the voice of some easy going, homespun cowboy reading a poem that had me in stitches by the third verse. As I read "Cactus Trails..." I could hear Black's easy voice utter each word.

Funny with a capital "F"!

Baxter has done it again. He manages to mix humor with social commentary, kind'a makes you think and belly laugh at the same time. Some of this book is politically incorrect--well, good for it! this country takes itself far too seriously, and it needs a good makin'-fun-of, and Baxter is the man for the job. You don't have to be a buckaroo or farmer, or vet to "get" these poems and short stories. It helps to be human,...

For anyone who has been there; hits the nail on the head.

A joy to read. Full of cowboy poetry & short stories. Some you could see as vividly as if you were there when it happened. It brings back alot of memories of incidents that have happened to me, or I've been witness to. A must for any cowboy or cowgirl.

Great education for the tenderfoot

Pigs, Politicians,Chickens, sheep, all have a good goin' over by the Bax. Shows the true "Attitude" of a workin' cowpuncher, and an example of how someone can get their tie re-arranged.
