From School Library Journal:
YA --A gem of an addition to the Western Americana collections, this slim book is also an autobiography. In a straightforward style, Worcester describes his boyhood in Arizona and then in California when it was still possible for a young man to dream of becoming a cowboy. In little vignettes rich with detail, he writes about the tough years on his grandfather's homestead, the love he and his brother had for the wild horses, the haunting loneliness he felt as a fatherless boy, his dislike for school, and the path that eventually led him to become an historian. For student writers learning to trust their own voice, these reminiscences hold a poignancy that is intense yet understated.
