Winner of the 2009 Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour "The cops
wanted to shoot me, my bosses thought I was a Bolshevik, and a
local lawyer warned me that some people I was writing about might
try to test the strength of my skull with a steel pipe. What more
could any young reporter hope for from his first real job?" The
night Mark Leiren-Young drove into Williams Lake, British Columbia,
in 1985 to work as a reporter for the venerable "Williams Lake
Tribune," he arrived on the scene of an armed robbery. And that was
before things got weird. For a 22-year-old from Vancouver, a stint
in the legendary Cariboo town was a trip to another world and
another era. From the explosive opening, where Mark finds himself
in a courtroom just a few feet away from a defendant with a bomb
strapped to his chest, to the case of a plane that crashed without
its pilot on board, "Never Shoot a Stampede Queen" is an
unforgettable comic memoir of a city boy learning about--and
learning to love--life in a cowboy town.
