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.
