Trails Plowed Under: -Charles M. Russell, 1926, 210 pages

Hollywood western movies have been a staple for over 100 years now. We are so inured by the silver screen version, that it is hard to separate reality from a movie directors version of the old west.
Here are 43 short stories (many told and heard around a campfire) that are, mostly, humorous. Stories from someone who lived in Montana when Indians, buffalo, and cattle still roamed freely. A time when the plow was just beginning to turn under the old trails.
This may be one of my favorite books.
