About this title: It was the "late days of the Depression", times were hard and money scarce, and Ben Green "had about used up all the hard ways to make a living a-horseback". So when he heard talk of the wild mustangs free for the taking in the Big Bend country of West Texas, he saddled a road horse, put his camp on a pack horse, and headed west from Weatherford, Texas. Ben recounts his tale at an easy lope, through hot days and cold nights, with dashes of danger along the way.
