Hi I'm Dusty Boots Cowboy philosopher an' poet I'm this way on count of my roots An' in my offerin's I try ta show it. I'm just a common man I write what I'm obliged ta see an feel; I'm tryin' to deliver best I can; Of things that might be true an' real. You can see I like the things of yesterday; An' stuff that's told to me by others. I like stories that put my mind into play But of blood an' gore I have my druthers. Now I live a simple quiet life At home with my books an' my wife. Dusty Boots Is a name that evolved from years of association with cattlemen and story tellers and poets I have shared time with at campfires and trail rides. I do performances for small groups and gatherings. At the urging of family and friends I have put together my first book of poetry and stories that rhyme, so they will be able to read the things, historically sound or Not, that I have collected over the years and put to verse. My story had its humble beginnings out in the Rocky Mountains of Utah. My wonderings have allowed me to experience the cowboy ways in: Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona where I spent a fair piece of my time as well as Nevada, California, and Idaho. Read this book an' you may be caught up in the "Flavor of the West".
