The Last of the Plainsmen |
---|
![]()
Travel along as Mike Vendetti aka miketheauctioneer narrates an outstanding true account of a trip made in 1909 by Zane Grey and a plainsman, Buffalo Jones, through the Grand Canyon to lasso a cougar. That’s right lasso. Throw a rope around. That’s equivalent to catching one by the tail. As I narrated this book, I found fact to be as exciting as fiction. This part of the west was relatively wild and untamed at this time. Wolves, wild horses, buffalo and other wildlife were quite prevalent, and the Indians were not that friendly. This adventure would never make it to “Animal Planet”, or as a National Geographic special, because there is quite a lot of what we would consider cruelty to animals, but this is a true story, and life as it was at the turn of the last century. Parts of this story will offend the sensibilities of some, but it is a glimpse into a world that no longer exists. I was definitely drawn into this story, as I hope the listener will be. |

Reviewer: Julie - March 21, 2019 Subject: Review The Last Plainsmen Mike Vendetti did an amazing job reading this story. This story was a bit hard to listen to because of the roughness and cruelty of the men in the story. Our ancestors lived a hard rough life. Not my favorite Zane Grey book, but narration was wonderful. :0) |
