Endorsements Nine Years In The Saddle is as the author relates, "a story of a man whom I never got to know until he was eighty-one years old, my father". The adventures of that father are both in and out of the cowboy mold, offering many insights as well as actions of a modern cowboy, rancher, and rover. A.C.Greene, The Dallas Morning News Very readable... exciting... insightful... tugs at the heart strings... two thumbs up! Steve Mason, Ph.D. KUCI- FM,University of California I had planned to read the first couple of chapters and then skim the rest of the book. But by the middle of the second chapter, entitled 'Man Stuff,' I was hooked. John Eubanks Salado Village Voice Nine Years In the Saddle is a true-western from Salado Press that's easy to pick up, but hard to put down. Lilla Barnes      Prologue: The twin-engine plane had delivered me to a small air terminal at Springfield, Missouri, which was nearly empty. As I entered the terminal, I heard a woman whom I had never met before exclaim, "Here he is! I found him!" She led me to a waiting television crew, which began to film this historic meeting between me and the elderly gentleman who accompanied her. Dressed in westen attire from his wide-brimmed hat to his cowboy boots, his six-foot frame retained a certain vigor that belied his years. When he saw me, a smile spread across his square face illuminated by alert, penetrating blue eyes as he extened a firm hand, molded by a lifetime of hard work. While the camera rolled, the interviewer plied us with questions about my search that culminated in this meeting. This is a story of a man whom I never got to know until he was eighty-one-years-old, my father. James V. Lee Author James V. Lee Table of Contents 1. The Making of a Cowboy 2. Man Stuff 3.
