Before horse-whispering an ole time cowboy, William A. Cummins, was
changing lives with secrets he learned by talkin to horses. Over
100 photos mirror the sensibility of this soft-spoken feed-bucket
philosopher and author of KING and the COWBOY. The book is deeply
moving, yet never self-pitying in telling Bill s
hard-knocks-but-dream-inspired story. It would have been tempting
given the broad strokes of Bill's life: A childhood marked by early
stardom -- he became a teenage singing cowboy on radio -- he taught
a golden palomino stallion to talk and pray on stage and learned
trick-roping -- they headlined as Smilin Bill and his Wonder Horse
King -- the partial loss of his right hand at age nine -- the early
death of his mother when he was 15 -- the heart warming solace he
found in horses -- and a highly successful engineering career.
Instead the book allows the facts, simply told, to carry the
weight. The idea for the book came when Bill was again encouraged
to perform rope tricks. With wisdom coming straight from the horse
s mouth he now spins cowboy yarns and hi-tech stories.
