Hello, I’m Robert Tyson and welcome to my home page. I will have many stories here about my adventures on horseback in the mountains of Wyoming. Today, however, I would like to introduce you to my new book about an earlier time in America.
Frontier Life on the Prairie
Life and Times of Jim Tyson 1843-1937
This book is the true life story of a small boy from England who grew up to be a 6'4" cowboy. It tells of his life journey through the interesting times of the 1800s and 1900s. Jim Tyson was dedicated and true to his family and he was a good provider. He loved his family and he loved adventure. Those were exciting times on his yearly cattle drives and later on his trips to Canada.
The book tells of the history of these years long ago, and gives an account of how Jim Tyson bought his land and how he bought and sold his cattle. These were interesting and trying times. The border war in Kansas, the Civil War, droughts, depressions, pandemics and world wars all happened in Jim's lifetime. A person and his neighbors were on their own, with little help from the law and no help from the government. Like the man said, "There is no law west of Kansas City and west of Fort Scott, no God."
I know you will enjoy the book. Please push the button below to see the particulars on how to purchase this lifelong adventure.
