******************************************************************
The West, Old and New, Brought to
Life in Verse and Writing
This is the official site for Dave P. Fisher - Cowboy Poet and Writer.
You'll find information here about him, his books and Western novels, Western Short Stories,
Cowboy Poems, and outdoor magazine articles.
************************************************************
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 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.

November 2009 Special Feature is:
Thanksgiving Grace
I have put this poem up on previous Novembers and will again this year.
It is appropriate that at this time of the year we remember to
give thanks to God for all that we have, for our families, and lives.
Many in this country seem inclined to wash God out of the American picture, however, people
of the land still remember where it all comes from. Maybe living close to the creation of God
makes us more mindful of His hand in everything.
Thanksgiving seems to have been passed right over in recent years.
People get all excited about Halloween, which has turned into an adult party night.
Everything then goes right into Christmas, which is my favorite time of year.
So, let's not forget that in November we are reminded to give thanks for all we have.
