Being brought up in the early fifties, with the sources of entertainment limited, the battery operated radio that the Scott's owned helped to take Roger into a world of imagination.
With stories of the Old West played on a regular basis. He was more than familiar with the Lone Ranger and Tonto, Roy Rogers, and Gene Autrey, along with so many others that captured his fancy in a way to influenced him still to this day. All this adoration of the Wild-West is so obvious in all the poems in this book which is a tribute to those hearty men who rode the West with just their horses and guns, carving out a civilization and establishing laws where none had existed before. You will enjoy re-living life as you read once again like they did. Both the harshness and the joy of being out on the prairie you will find here, as Roger opens up the world of Cowboys, Gunslingers and Lawmen......All to show how the West was won through the blood and sweat of the American cowboy.
