Sono Nis Press - Cowboy and Western


		Born To Be Hung H. "Dude" Lavington The chapter headings in Born to Be Hung hint at the "range" Dude Lavington has covered: "Runaways—High Water Crossings", "Moose-Hunting Yarns", "Range Riding on the Batnuni", "Bluffing Wolves" . . . This is the author's second book on wrangling and ranching in the Baker Creek Valley region of British Columbia. It is an autobiographical adventure that upholds all the best western story traditions . . . but the adventures are fact, not fiction, and the tall tales are true! This ever-popular title is now in its ninth printing. Pioneer Autobiography, 203 pp, 6 × 9, 55+ b/w photos and illustrations ISBN 0-919203-09-4, paper, $15.95

		The Nine Lives of a Cowboy H. "Dude" Lavington A cowboy must be blessed (or cursed) with nine lives like the proverbial cat, or he would never make it to the allotted three score and ten – or even to maturity.—Dude Lavington Relive the wild, wild west, Canadian style! Dude Lavington's densely packed memoirs are full of humour, aphorisms, cowboy lingo, and the kind of adventures that make folk heroes. Stettler, Calgary, Quesnel, Barkerville, Stanley . . . places that come to life in this warm, colloquial history. Tenth printing! Pioneer Autobiography, 216pp, 6 × 9, 40+ b/w photos and illustrations ISBN 0-919203-20-5, paper, $15.95
