Product Description
The authenic, well-documented life story of Jackson Hole's legendary and colorful Cal Carrington -- a tale that goes beyond imagination. As a young boy, Cal is given up to Mormon missionaries by his Swedish shoemaker family and taken to frontier Utah. He runs away -- an illiterate, orphaned saddle tramp -- to become an open range cowboy. Eventually, he drifts into Jackson Hole, living and working among hardened original settlers and alleged outlaws. While wrangling at the acclaimed Bar BC, he meets a wealthy socialite -- a Countess. They become one of the West's most celebrated cowboy-dudine affairs. Cal is introduced into high society, travels abroad, hunts in Africa; together they homestead the renown Flat Creek Ranch. This is a book for people that love the history of the Old West and the Yellowstone-Teton region, and who will derive inspiration and joy from a true story of a life passionately lived.
Reader Reviews
I was an English teacher for 23 years and have an insatiable, voracious appetite for reading. During a recent trip to Teton Valley in Idaho, I acquired a copy of this biography and couldn't put it down. For anyone familiar with Owen Wister's novel, The Virginian, this is a must read. Cal Carrington is a larger-than-life character who exemplifies the pioneer spirit of Teton Valley as well as early life in Jackson Hole, Wy. I can vouch for the veracity of this biography as my grandfather, James H. Berger, was a life-long friend of Cal Carrington. Cal's life is still alive in the memories of many residents of Teton Valley, Jackson Hole and beyond. Homesteading, horse wrangling, and adventures around the world are all part of Cal's life story. It's a great book!
