Yellowstone Chip’s contributions as an entertainer and wrangler caught the author Nan Weber's imagination. After finding traces of Yellowstone Chip’s writing at the historic OTO Dude Ranch north of Yellowstone National Park, Weber tracked Chip’s history. In the course of her research, she found Chip’s memoirs, his music, his cartooning, and his family. What has emerged from these home sources and civil records is the picture of a first-class wrangler and entertainer during the heyday of dude ranches and singing cowboys. This is a heartwarming story of a farm boy classically trained in music with the dream of becoming a true Western Cowboy. |
