About the Author
Hube Yates was long known as a master storyteller, Southwestern style, especially around a campfire, or anywhere, for that matter. The warmth and humor of this strong, friendly, Levi-clad horseman caught the attention of writer Gene K. Garrison, a free-lancer and articles writer for Carefree Enterprise Magazine at the time. They put their talents together and, when Hube didn't have people to take out on horseback rides, he kept her spellbound with tales from his own experiences. They start with his family's move from Guthrie, Oklahoma, in a covered wagon in 1914, to Phoenix, Arizona. He was eleven. The adventures, from the hilarious to the heroic lasted into his seventies, and so did his special gift for charming an audience.
