The Disgruntled Cowboy and Other Tales of Old New Mexico is a rollicking collection of five short stories set in the New Mexico territory before statehood Author Ronald W. Kaehr narrates these folksy, uninhibited tales from the perspective of a female newspaper columnist, who interviews men and women from yesteryear. Simply put, Kaehr is an outstanding storyteller. He has a knack for dialogue that is so true, it is amplified with an authenticity that the dialect emerges as a character in itself. The Disgruntled Cowboy is wonderfully imaginative, with all the visuals one might expect from the western frontier: saloons, card-playing cowboys, bordellos, bank robberies, sheriffs, and coyotes. Kaehr's characters are lively and unforgettable, and his masterful use of western slang moves the story along like a runaway train. The Disgruntled Cowboy is bawdy and crude without apology, but readers with a good sense of humor will laugh out loud at this wonderful collection of short stories..
