I grew up for a while in a little community where the merchants got together in the summer time, and would put on a free outdoor movie; sort of like the modern drive ins, except everybody sat on chairs or laid on the grass, and watched that movie on a canvas screen. The westerns were what took my eye. If I go back a little further, I can tell about the first movie I ever saw. The cowboy hero of that movie was the first hero I ever had. That was Buck Jones in "Red River Valley." I've pulled many a sweaty saddle blanket off my horse since then. I don't think I ever spent a full day ahorseback,…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
I grew up for a while in a little community where the merchants got together in the summer time, and would put on a free outdoor movie; sort of like the modern drive ins, except everybody sat on chairs or laid on the grass, and watched that movie on a canvas screen. The westerns were what took my eye. If I go back a little further, I can tell about the first movie I ever saw. The cowboy hero of that movie was the first hero I ever had. That was Buck Jones in "Red River Valley." I've pulled many a sweaty saddle blanket off my horse since then. I don't think I ever spent a full day ahorseback, that something exciting, funny, or unusual didn't happen. Before the full day ended, some happenings were downright hilarious, and some were pretty western. All I ever wanted to be was a big ranch cowboy. Red Cloud Wolverton
Autorenporträt
'Red Cloud', as he is known in the cattle country, has been a working cowboy and horseman all his life. Raised on a ranch in Colorado, he quit school at sixteen and went to work breaking mules to drive for the ZX Ranch at Paisley, Oregon, until he got hired on 'with the wagon'. "All I ever wanted to be was a 'big ranch' cowboy. The first 30 years of my life, I didn't know I could make a living if I wasn't ahorseback. I liked punching cows, riding broncs, and driving fast horses. I took part in a stagecoach holdup at a rodeo, which eventually evolved into getting one of my own and breaking 6-up hitches of Morgan horses to pull it. Two of the highlights were our 1976 stagecoach trip from St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California; and our invitation to President Carter's Inaugural Parade in 1977, representing the 17 western states. We started providing horses for the movies in 1975 with 'White Buffalo'. Been at it ever since, including 'Tombstone', 'The Alamo', and 'Into The West'." His first published work was the story of the Bi-Centennial stagecoach trip "Stagecoach 76', in 'The Tombstone Epitaph'. His current stories in "The Cowboy" magazine are of his life as a working cowboy. Red lives lives with his wife on their horse ranch near Tucson, Arizona.
