Blazin' Bloats & Cows on Fire!

Oh My Goodness! I love reading Blackies Books, but this one has about done me in. I generally use his books kinda like the old Sears and Roebuck catalogs only don't tear the pages out if you get my drift. But Blazin' Bloats and Cows on Fire has about give me another heart attack laughing so hard. With fifty some odd years behind a tarnished belt buckle, I swear he's had someone watchin us to tell his stories. I can put a face and a place to just about every cow puncher, fence jumper, rope breaker and emergency room he's put in this book. Many of them MINE! It is said that God only allows so many people to be cattlemen. I think he allows even fewer to understand them to the point to tell their story in halarious funeral parlor humor. That is to say that if Mr. baxter where attending my funeral, I'd be real upset if he didn't stand close to the box when he was tellin a yarn so I didn't go to my rewards with a smile on my face. This is a darned well 'better read' or it's your loss. It is pure bahind the barn Americana at it's very best! If this don't take your aspiration to be a cowboy away, you just might be in the wrong occupation! This is some good stuff!

This book was also a gift to my son in-law. I have not personnally read the book but he LOVES it. Actually loves this author and can't get enough of him.

Not my favorite in his group of books but still a very amusing read. We love Baxter Black!

Straight shooting Baxter Black, enjoyed collection of poems. Would recomend.
