Frist Printing of the University of Oklahoma Press edition 1994. Tight book with no marks or stamps. Photographs by Elaine Querry and Foreword by Larry L. King. When Ron Querry left his job teaching English at the University of Oklahoma, he took up ranching, armed with a Ph.D. and a pair of tender feet. This is his account of his ranching career in New Mexico, in the course of which he married the beautiful lady rancher next door and learned the 24 hour a day job of dealing with a herd of stubborn cattle as well as assorted horses, dogs, cats, tumbleweeds, rattlesnakes, and neighbors. The stories of his misadventures are warm-hearted and funny, with moments of defeat as well as victory---bittersweet picture of life in the latter-day West.
