In this first publication, Wayne Brown shares his love for the subject of the Old West with a collection of twelve poems which address a variety of subject matter dealing with life on the wild and wooly frontier of the later 1800's. Wayne's poetry will take you up close and personal with the joy and hardships in life in the days when much of western America was still a wild frontier and men fought for their very survival day to day.
