Cowboy Cool

I just finished the book, The Breaking of Ezra Riley, by John L Moore. John is a rancher in Miles City,Montana. When he writes a book about cowboys, it's pure poetry. John may be the best at capturing the essence of life as a real cowboy. In the course of the book, he dropped every cow poke cliche, as gentle and subtle as a falling snow flake. If you blinked, you missed it. After you catch on, you begin to pick them up like wild morels, and just when you get all settled in, he hits you right in the face with honest fervor, like a hot iron on a wild eyed calf. If you're good at figuring out the "who done its" before the chapter is even over, you best hunker down and pull up on yer bull rope, you got no idea what your in for. Wanna peek into what it's really like, horseback in Montana, pick up a copy, but don't put your boots up on the coffee table while you are reading it, your spurs will end up scratching the tar nations out of it. Captivating!
