Line Rider

De: Joseph Pearce, J Washburn

Narrado por: James Huff

Line Rider is the true story of the life of Joseph Harrison Pearce (1873-1958), written by his own hand. During his lifetime, the “wild west” from the storybooks still lived and breathed in one of the last places to be modernized—Arizona. Joe, as he calls himself, took various roles throughout his adventurous life, including sheep herder, cowman, courter, tracker, line rider, and most famously, that venerated breed of law man know as the Arizona Ranger.

His story leads him to encounters with cattle rustlers, gamblers, saloons, stampedes, horse thieves, Indian trackers, outlaws, and nearly every other subject that later made its way into western legend. But this story is absolutely real, told in his own voice in vivid detail.

EXCELLENT and authentic!

While being autobiographical, this book and the stories found therein, are interesting and entertaining. The stories and real life experiences, genuinely take you to the old west and an entirely different world. Treasures of this kind, are invaluable to understanding the generations of powerful individuals who quite literally blazed trails for the rest of society. In hearing these stories, one not only realizes what a tiny contribution they are to understanding that world, but they are also transported there in small part by the imagery and personal touch of the author. This is absolutely worth your time if you enjoy any tales of adventure or the old west. It is particularly noteworthy for those with pioneer or latter-day Saint heritage.
The narrator of this book doesn't excellent job and seems to tell it in a way that makes you believe he was there.

A wild west adventure that really happened!

This story has all the things that eventually made their way into legend, but these are true stories! It's really well narrated as well.
