Chilcotin Yarns Bruce Watt

Getting three trucks and two horses stuck in the mud on a good road into BCs wild, remote interior, it was just the start of Bruce Watts hilarious adventuresa??and it was his honeymoon, too. When the newly married Watt moved to there in 1948 to take up ranching, he was a just a kid in his early 20s. He and his wife fell in love with Big Creek, three hours southwest of Williams Lake, and its wildlife, beautiful landscapes and quirky, down-to-earth people. Despite the tough work and difficult conditions, they put down roots and stayed, raising a family of five, along with herds of cattle and horses. This consummate storyteller tells it like wasa??and still is, perhaps, for many still making this place their home. Bruces hilarious stories of chasing horses and getting five kids off to school (until they were a ripe eight or nine years old and could drive themselves) have a charm all their own. These yarns capture the adventure and especially the humour of running a rancha??roping cougars, having close calls on cliff edges and all the other usual accidents. Watts cowboy honesty and campfire-style storytelling are irresistible. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Chilcotin Yarns (Bruce Watt)
