Some More Horse Tradin'

Some More Horse Tradin'

From the same corral that produced the widely loved <i>Horse Tradin€</i>, Ben €œDoc€ Green has rounded up fifteen new yarns filled with the ornery yet irresistible €œcon€ that has branded Doc€s books as classics of Western Americana. <br /> <br /><i>Some More Horse Tradin€</i> recounts the go-arounds of Doc and a whole slew of craggy old-timers and rangy characters, including a watermelon hauler €œwho has a bit of snuff that seeps out a little on his whiskers,€ Professor Know-It-All, the €œcharitable€ Mr. Undertaker, and the well-known public cowboy Will Rogers. See all of them matching their wiles and hear a lot of palaver, dealin€ and tradin€ for well-bred usin€-type mares, snorty-like range horses, and even used-to-be bad horses from the tumbleweeded plains of Texas to the mountain meadows of Yankee Vermont. Watch the Doc stretch a city ordinance with a frustrated lawman in €œThe Last Trail Drive Through Downtown Dallas€ and admire the old-time knavery, skill, and salesmanship in such tales as €œGittin€ Even,€ €œBrethren Horse Traders,€  €œMule Schoolin€,€ and €œWater Treatment and the Sore-Tailed Bronc.€<br /> <br />So here you go€"with Doc Green and his horse-tradin€ West in finest fettle. As he puts it himself, €œThese apples come from the same barrel as <i>Horse Tradin€</i> but they ain€t none of them spotty.€
