Never Give a Heifer a Bum Steer
Editorial Reviews
Joanna Dodder, The Daily Courier (Prescott)
"You can't talk to Marshall Trimble without hearing a joke, and he's cut loose with some of his folksy best."
From the Publisher
Arizona's official historian Marshall Trimble deftly blends his background in history, folklore, tall-story telling, and balladeering to create usually rowdy, sometimes bawdy, and always hilarious humor. If the characters in his book were real, the West would have been lost.
Take the Looney Brothers. They were advised that the best way to start a cattle ranch - excluding rustling - was to buy a stout bull and fine heifer and let them go forth and multiply. But they were hoodwinked and the result is summed up in the book's title. Or the vivacious Crystal LeDoux. She became first runner-up in the Miss Arizona contest when her competitor's tractor broke down during the talent show. Or Doc Pringle. His advice for curing insomnia is to get a good night's sleep.
Marshall's characters reside in Ash Fork, which he notes is the only town in Arizona never featured in Arizona Highways.
