Book excerpt: Bellwood Cowboy is the life story of one of the greatest men I ever knew. Artie Quinton is one of the last of the old time cowboys. His knowledge of livestock and ranch management is renown in Oklahoma. He worked for the Daube Cattle Co. for forty seven years starting during the Great Depression era of the 1930s. Born in a log cabin in 1912 he would lose his mother before he was a year and a half old, then the grandmother who raised him when he was twelve. He attended a country school through the eighth grade. Married to the girl of his dreams, he started working for Daube Ranches in 1937 for $35 a month and that included his wife's pay for cooking three meals a day for up to twenty cowboys. Artie advanced to foreman of Daube Ranches and acquired a reputation as the best ranch manager in the area. He retired in 1984 and at 98 years of age and legally blind, lives alone in the small town of Mill Creek, Oklahoma. Artie has preached more funerals than most preachers, and is the corner stone of his church. Follow his most unique life in the pages of Bellwood Cowboy.

Banned from playing his eighth grade season because he was too rough, he caught the attention of one of the best sports writers in the state.

Download or read book Hoodoo Brown written by Glen Enloe and published by America Star Books. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an effort to shine light on a dim corner of our Old West heritage, Hoodoo Brown: the Baddest Cowboy of Them All, pieces together the fragments of the colorful and mysterious life and times of Hyman Graham Neill, better known as Hoodoo Brown. In his day, Hoodoo was as infamous as Billy the Kid, Jesse James or the Dalton Gang, but for some strange reason his fame and that of his murderous Dodge City Gang has faded. While their reign of terror was short, they have sadly both been relegated to the status of a sometimes remembered footnote to history. Only the emergence of a video game in recent years has brought them back to life. Hoodoo Brown is the true story of a man who possibly could have gone on to much better and greater things, but instead succumbed to his own dark and deadly muses.
