| Summary: | John Furman Haley lived from 1897 to 1972, from wagon roads to superhighways, from chugging locomotives to rocket-powered journeys in outer space. He was a West Texas rancher, and his attitude epitomized the creed of western ranchers and cowboys of his time. He moved no mountains, toppled no governments, or built any empires; yet he was an embodiment of the character and spirit that creates the distinctive aura which identifies those proud individuals who value freedom above all else.<br> <br> In this warm and often humorous memoir, Haley's son, himself a rancher, captures the image of a man known for his extraordinary self-reliance, endless energy, and willingness--even eagerness--to meet any challenge life held in store.<br> <br> The volume is illustrated with original drawings by western artist Duane Breyers.
