They Call Me Old Blue: Or How I Helped Charles Goodnight Invent the Chuck Wagon

Paperback (Eakin Press Oct. 1, 2001)
Old Blue, Texas' most revered longhorn, worked for rancher Charles Goodnight. But Blue has almost been forgotten by history. In 1998 a mysterious old manuscript was discovered by Preston Lewis. Now Mr. Lewis shares the manuscript, Blue's "autobiography," with readers for the first time. In this story, we learn that a few great specimens like Old Blue built the cattle empire. As Blue puts it, "The cowboys who rode with me claim they did all the work. They're wrong." With Old Blue, Spur Award-winner Preston Lewis launches a new series. Also available, the second Animal Legends book - "Blanca is My Name: Or How I Saved the Buffalo on the Texas Plains."
