Customer Reviews

This book takes me back to my childhood.

I grew up on a ranch in Idaho and now live in the East. This book made me laugh and almost cry as it reminded me of my dad who is an old cattle rancher. I knew this book was truly authentic when I read the boy's stories of his Grandpa "Old Al". I read it in one day, and I am not a big reading type of person. Loved the book and so will you.

Authentic Montana Book

If you want to know what an authentic Montanan is like, read this book. Having lived in Montana for 7 1/2 years and experiencing firsthand the Montana mindset it was refreshing to read about how it developed in one Montanan's life. Montanans are tough, physically and mentally. They are proud and self-sufficient. As you read this story of a young boy growing up without a father or mother, in the care of his Old West Grandpa and Grandma, you will gain a new appreciation for the folks we call Montanans. Montana is a great state and Montanans are great people. Read this book for an authentic Montana viewpoint.
