The Life and Times of Buck Hooey Book

In this collection of comic western adventure stories reminiscent of the tales of Pecos Bill you will meet Mr. Homer H. "Buck" Hooey, a cowboy anti-hero, overlooked by the dime novelists of the 1880s. Buck, as he was known, couldn't shoot straight, nor was he quick on the draw, but his ornery luck teamed up with his greed, his taste in women, and his big mouth to get him into scrapes with the most dangerous characters of the Old West. One after another he falls afoul of the Blunt Brothers, the Bad Mouth Kid, Chief Boiled Snake, Bearhug Burns and many other desperadoes. He even had a run-in with the devil himself. Still, Buck had a good side to him; don't think he hadn't. His story would have ended with his first adventure if the ornery luck that got him into trouble didn't also get him out. Well, it wasn't just luck. Buck's low cunning, his good third grade education, and a natural born talent for swearing also helped him out. Ride with Buck as he becomes a legend in his own time.
