A compilation of Dick Courteau’s popular articles from Rural Heritage and Orion magazines, this book offers around-the-campfire anecdotes and reflections about leading the country life. You will hear about auctioneers and country figures of speech, about jumping cows and rodeo rides and animal welfare, and about what it takes to make a life in the Ozarks. “It’s hard to imagine a more pleasing journey through rural America.” ~ Gary Ferguson, author, The Eight Master Lessons of Nature
