Ben K. Green takes us back to the deep Southwest and the
never-a-dull-moment years he spent as a practicing horse doctor
along the Pecos and the Rio Grande. With precious little formal
schooling but a perfect corralside manner and plenty of natural
wit, Green became the first to hang up a shingle in the trans-Pecos
territory. Hear him tell the tales of his struggles with mean
stockmen, yellowweed fever, banditos, poison hay, and "drouth". His
canny mix of science and horse sense when treating animals "that
ain't house pets" is 100-proof old time pleasure.
A veterinarian in the far Southwest for much of his life, Ben K.
Green retired to ranch in Texas until his death in 1974.
