Frank Benton
(4,294 Sterne; 17 Bewertungen)
Frank Benton, himself a wealthy rancher, provides a series of first-hand sketches of cowboy life of the late 19th and early 20th century from stories gathered from the "sidetrack." These were working cowpunchers with a subculture of their own who did the day-to-day work of the ranches. This is an important part of American history preserved for us in these stories. - Summary by Larry Wilson (3 hr 39 min)

Very fun read/listen! I especially appreciated the variety of reading volunteers, as they brought lively personality to each chapter. I chose this audiobook on a whim - I’m neither into cowboys or rail travel - but was pleasantly surprised at how much I was enjoying the stories.

Very funny read. One must forgive some period derogatory references we now find offensive, but railroads will have to remain pilloried or where is fun?
