Book Overview
"Mark Twain had a way of describing life that let you taste it and laugh at it simultaneously. It isn't a gift that shows up very often among writers, but it's here again in David Wagoner's tale. He writes with wit and sparkle," Courier-Post Seventeen-year-old Andrew Jackson Holcomb suddenly finds himself part owner of a bank and whorehouse in 1890s Wyoming when his father, a crooked judge, skips town to avoid a scandal. But that's only the beginning his troubles. Soon Andrew and his best friend Fred, the preacher's son, take a crash course in "cowboying" from colorful cowpoke Greasy Brown and hit the trail for Indian Territory and into a wild, bawdy adventure for the ages. "Almost every line is worth quoting... a good piece of entertainment, sly, witty, and true." New York Times "Wagoner has a great ear for conversation and some of the scenes are hilarious." Sacramento Bee "It's a long, hilarious tale...a wooly yarn about the old west. Greasy is probably the dumbest, poorest, thirstiest, stubbornest, and funniest fictional cowboy since Cat Ballou." Chicago Tribune

Shouldn't be wandering
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This book is a lost gem of real fun and zestful living in a surreal world of what could be the West or the Midwest of a time ago. You will laugh out loud at the antics and mouthings of this young kid. Coming of age wouldn't describe it. Wagoner is a genius.
