Other Versions of this Book: Hardcover
Book Description:
Described by The Washington Post as being able "to make a dead man sit up and laugh," Baxter Black--veterinarian/doctor turned poet/columnist/raconteur--has been making living people laugh with his novel (Hey Cowboy, Wanna Get Lucky?), syndicated columns, appearances on The Tonight Show, and regular pieces on National Public Radio. Now this complete illustrated collection of the commentaries that have aired on NPR's Morning Edition presents Black's latest dose of medicine for animal and human alike. Ranging from a riotous account of two cowboys chasing down a cow in the nude to a very touching piece about a rancher who loses his wife to cancer and finds out the true worth of his friends and neighbors, Cactus Tracks & Cowboy Philosophy brings together Black's best-known and most adored work.

The last sentence of "Home the Hard Way" is, "It was a story that wasn't near as funny the first time he explained it to the insurance adjuster."
Now, aren't you tempted? if you don't know Baxter Black's writing, let this book be your introduction. If you're old friends, then your collection is not complete without this book. Touching andlaugh-out-loud funny ... often in the same sentence.

Great read! Lots of humor and common sense. Even if you're not a cowboy, this book would be fun!
Alison J. (Baxter Black writes absolutely hilarious, and at the same time gently endearing, prose and poetry. He is NPR's "cowboy poet." This is one of his best!
