Bob Knox grew up in the cowboy life style of the 1930s and 40s,
spending summers with two old-time cowboy uncles in various
locations around Colorado. During this time, in the settings of no

of life's valuable lessons. After graduating from high school in
1948, the author worked in the rugged cow country of northern New
Mexico where, as a teenager, he hired out as a cowboy for some of
