We learn a lot about our past by examining the songs. This volume is a collection of songs and ballads from the frontier days when the West was still wild. Many of these were sung around the campfire, or to the cattle to soothe them at night. Some, more bawdy than others, were oft heard wafting out of the bat-wing doors of the saloon. All have their own, special place in history, and all should be remembered and sung again. Maybe, in reading these, we can recapture a little of the glory of those years gone by.
Publisher/Author, Cindy K. Roberts has a lifetime experience with training horses and mules; riding the family pony at age 2 was the beginning. Her grandfather, Lieutenant Wilton Willmann a sharpshooter and muleskinner of the U.S. Army Cavalry (stationed in Fort Riley, Camp Perry, Fort Leavenworth circa 1924) gifted her with the insight on mules; and the desire to study and work with them. Shooting firearms and working with horses and mules was desired and expected in the family.
Cindy is host of Mule Talk! The podcast about mules. She enjoys the western way of life, educating new mule owners in working with their own mules, hosting mule events, and documenting her own adventures in keeping the cowgirl spirit alive.
