Drifting Cowboy

This collection of poetry tells the fascinating story of a boy who left his home in Quebec at fifteen with the dream of becoming a cowboy, took a train to Regina with just a few dollars in his pocket and started out as a flunky on a Saskatchewan ranch, spent some time in jail as a cattle thief, and served as a Hollywood stunt man, before eventually becoming one of the most famous cowboys in the world. It's also a tragedy, the story of a haunted man, deeply buried secrets, a broken marriage and a death due to alcoholism.
