Trails of an Arkie Cowboy

Autobiography of Weldon Johnson—228 pages. His exciting growing-up years in the rugged hills of Arkansas as he roamed the country with his 22 rifle. Helping his dad run cattle on the open range, with his precious Winchester 94-30-30 nestled on the saddle in the bobcat scabbard. A cattle rancher for over forty years. His treasured experiences while deer hunting with his boy. His determined quest for the best hunting and fishing adventures that can be had in North America. His love for Alaska and the Yukon. His many trips to the state of Oregon, drifting the rivers for steelhead and salmon. The challenge of the big muskies of Minnesota. The thrill of the sound of mountain lion hounds as they trail and chase a lion in Nevada and Wyoming. It is written in his own sometimes colorful style. He wants to express the extreme importance of timing. He hopes his authentic experiences will help others with a love for the great outdoors. He includes five of his poems and over 60 pictures.
