Von der hinteren Coverseite

A new collection of poems by America s premier cowboy poet.

Bruce Kiskaddon was born in Pennsylvania, later moving to the Southwest where he worked on off for cow and horse outfits. Seeking the fame and fortune of Hollywood, he spent the last 25 years of his life as a bellhop in Los Angeles hotels. Between calls, he sat in the corner of the lobby with a stubby pencil in hand and opened up a world of memory of the cow, the camp, horses, and open land. He may have carried bags for Roy Rogers, John Wayne, Gene Autry, or Ronald Reagan, but his words will live more profoundly than any of theirs as a document of the American cowboy.
