Under the Texas Sun · Adventures of a Texas Cowpuncher

" . . . the stories are good enough to make you wish you'd heard them told aloud."— True West

" . . . offers insights into the lives of characters in a society far different from our own—mail-order brides, prostitutes, the Ku Klux Klan, and, for spice, a hermit who became a bank president—all riding the wave of the rough and tumble frontier. . . . "— Bloomsbury Review

Malcolm Vernon's stories—delightfully and poignantly retold by his granddaughter—are of a fifteen-year-old boy heading west alone, working the range, recovering stolen stock, seeing men killed over card games and buckets of buttermilk, and, most of all, growing to manhood on the Texas frontier.
