Cowboy has a few tales to tell
| Ken Overcast’s book
“Yesterday’s Yarns” takes readers on a trail ride around the real West, looking
at humorous aspects of cowboy life. Written by a real Montana cowboy, the book touches on love for a cowboy hat, cures for snoring and thoughts of calves. Overcast also writes about family, friends and a bucket full of misadventures. Many of the 53 short stories date back to the olden days, handed down like knitted socks over the years. Overcast jazzes up the tales with a bit of bull and some wily wit. Cowboy lingo and spelling are sprinkled throughout the chuckling journey, and clever jokes partner up with comical illustrations. Overcast lives with his wife on a ranch in northcentral Montana. Along with “Yesterday’s Yarns,” the multi-talented cowboy has written award-winning poetry and produced compact discs of cowboy songs. -Stacy Haslem, Tribune staff writer
