In his eighty-plus years, Max Evans has known, owned, ridden, and
been thrown by quite a number of horses. In For the Love of a
Horse, Evans shares his favorite horse stories for all to enjoy. As
Max explains, "I wanted a wide range of adventures from another
time, with different horses, of different breeds, and a sense of
history of those special days." Max begins with his first horse,
Cricket, which he received when he was four years old. At the age
of ten, he helped with a horse-drive from far southeast New Mexico,
through west Texas, and on to the final destination in Guymon,
Oklahoma. Later, PDQ was a horse that seemed very gentle and
laid-back, until someone rode him. And then there was Molly, who
liked to fly through and around obstacles on coyote hunts. This
book is for all those who enjoy reading horse stories as much as
Max loves telling them. Saddle up! "The recognition is long
overdue. (Max Evans is) sui generis. He understands the present
West better than anyone else, what it's like to be there now living
in two worlds of the pickup truck and the bronco."--Charles
Champlin, former Denver bureau chief of Time and retired arts
editor of The Los Angeles Times, quoted in The New York Times
