Wild Man: A Mostly True Memoir of a Missouri Cattleman

By Sierra Shea

Book Overview

Sit back and travel to a time not long ago when one Missouri man's decision to take a chance on a cattleman's dream created seven generations of cattle entrepreneurs and countless mostly true, larger-than-life stories along the way.Sierra Shea, author of "Wild Man: A Mostly True Memoir of a Missouri Cattleman", recounts her grandfather Luther Angell's stories in amusing fashion. From hilarious blind dates and animal-related pranks to triumphs and misfortunes, it weaves a rich tableau of the Angell family's livestock auction ownership and involvement in the beef industry.Luther is the kind of grandpa every kid wishes they had, filling a room with laughter and astonishment with each story he retells. It would not be a cattleman's memoir without seven bar stories, half a dozen pranks and a couple big cow collisions. He pauses periodically to describe his lifelong romance with Joan, his Georgia-raised gal. Even in their fifth decade of marriage, Joan still struggles to rein in her cowboy and his endless jokes.There are no ad nauseam chapters in this book, rather 50 short stories with over 100 photos from Luther and the Angell family that bring life and color to each story.
