I Always Did Like Horses and Women: Enoch Cal Carrington's Life Story

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.
