Author Gene Skaug's new book "Verses of a Saddle Tramp" is a collection of lighthearted poetry celebrating the uniquely American perspective of a true cowboy
Recent release "Verses of a Saddle Tramp" from Page Publishing author Gene Skaug is a delightful book of lilting rhymes offering a humorous yet often poignant glimpse into the life of a career cowboy on the western range.
WASHOE VALLEY, Nev., Oct. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Gene Skaug is a native of the American Northwest whose lifelong passion for animals and nature led him to a thirty-year career in the livestock industry as a cowboy, horse trainer, and animal wrangler for the stage show, "Hello Hollywood, Hello". He has completed his new book "Verses of a Saddle Tramp": an entertaining collection of infectious rhymes that evoke the rugged and often solitary life of a bona fide buckaroo.
Rarely do people have the good fortune to meet an individual who has directed their life along a path that has satisfied their inner desires rather than submitting to a stereotyped mold formed by society. Gene Skaug is such a person. Whether running a string of pack animals, training a cow horse, cutting a steer from the herd, or just shoeing his own horse, Gene is doing what he wants to do. At the end of the working day, he has the satisfaction of knowing he has accomplished a professional job. A life lived so close to nature yields knowledge few ever obtain. As the sailor knows the sea, the vaquero knows the land and the animals that inhabit it. The following collection was penned during the lonely evenings at a line camp in Western Nevada. The thoughts are those of a buckaroo. There is pathos as well as humor in these poems; they are statements about life with which we can all identify. Let's hope that Gene Skaug will continue to commit his thoughts to paper as he has done so well on this occasion.
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Gene Skaug's book of poetry is an evocative portrait of modern cowboy life in the American West.
