High Country Cowboy - Softcover

Ken Reyher's family came to Colorado just after the Civil War. He grew up listening to stories from his grandfather Bill Reyher who, as a boy, had worked cattle with veterans of the Texas longhorn trails. Grandfather Henry Weimer, a former cavalryman, shared in the story telling. After a seven-year tour in the military, Reyher returned to Colorado where he taught high school history for twenty years, operated a flying service and engaged in farming. Stories about the early days of the state continue to play a role in his life. His articles about the old west have appeared in several magazines, and he writes regularly for two western Colorado newspapers, one of which he is the history editor. He also writes wonderful cowboy poetry.

"Spellbinding historic account of the lives of western Colorado cowboys. Packed with fascinating detail. Ken is a consummate story teller." -- San Juan Lifestyles, August, 2001
