About this title

Synopsis

STICK HORSES And Other Stories of Cowboy Life

HERE ARE TRUE-LIFE STORIES about cowboys, Indians, (ranch hands, sheriffs) and the milieu of characters that populated the legendary American West. McRae tells about his heroes and also the town vagabonds who came and went through the landscape of his growing up as a ranch kid and his adult life as a third-generation Montana rancher. Both humorous and poignant, the people and events in McRae's stories portray the living Cowboy Code. Enjoyable, can't-put-it-down reading in a conversational style from one of the West's best storytellers. Don't pass this one up!

McRae's cowboy poetry collection, The Cowboy Curmudgeon, has sold more than 25,000 copies.

McRae was the subject of a feature article in Range magazine in summer 2008.

McRae has been featured on Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion.

He was the keynote speaker for the Elko Gathering's tenth anniversary and has performed his poems across a wide range of venues from cultural exchanges in Australia, Scotland, England, and various settings in the United States.
