************************************************************
The western movement during the 19th century played a huge part in the history of America. Here was born the mountain man, cowboys, gunfighters, outlaws, and the lawmen who tamed them. It was a land where honor, and right over wrong was held to as dearly as a man’s word and his handshake. It wasn’t a myth, as some claim it was, it really happened, the old west was an historical fact.

Dave has successfully captured the people and culture of the era with accuracy to detail and its
history. Hours of research, walking the very ground where it happened, and his years as a
working cowboy are all part of his stories. Your senses will live the action in every page.
While you’re at the Double Diamond you will learn why Dave’s stories will have you walking in the characters boots rather than just reading a book. Here are stories to be read aloud and
novels to keep you turning the pages.
Dave's cowboy poetry comes in a unique form in that he tells stories of the old and new West in meter and rhyme. Most of it tends to be humorous, finding the nature and flaws in his cowboy culture, and sharing it with his audiences in a spirit of good fun. Then he will turn tale and give you something serious in regards to the things cowboys hold most dear in their lives.

July 2008 Special Feature is:
50 Gallon Bull
July is the heighth of the rodeo season. The 4th of July weekend
is known as Cowboy Christmas because of the many rodeos
and big money to be won. A good Cowboy Christmas can send a rider to
the Finals in Las Vegas - if all goes well.
Everyone has their favorite event, but bull riding remains the most
popular to fans and riders alike.
But, did you ever stop to think about where that bull rider got his start?
He sure didn't wake up one day and walk out a pro bull rider.
Well, most of those riders, who came out of the country anyway, started on that
50 gallon bucking barrel hung in the barn or under the trees.
July's Featured Story pays tribute to that 50 gallon monster
so many of us cut our rodeo teeth on.
