Travel along as Mike Vendetti aka miketheauctioneer narrates an outstanding true account of a trip made in 1909 by Zane Grey and a plainsman, Buffalo Jones, through the Grand Canyon to lasso a cougar. That’s right, lasso. Throw a rope around. That’s equivalent to catching one by the tail.
As I narrated this book, I found fact to be as exciting as fiction. This part of the west was relatively wild and untamed at this time. Wolves, wild horses, buffalo and other wildlife were quite prevalent, and the Indians were not that friendly.
This adventure would never make it to “Animal Planet”, or as a National Geographic special, because there is quite a lot of what we would consider cruelty to animals, but this is a true story, and life as it was at the turn of the last century. Parts of this story will offend the sensibilities of some, but it is a glimpse into a world that no longer exists. I was definitely drawn into this story, as I hope the listener will be.

This book is a wonderful early travelogue and the narrator is brilliant, his lovely deep sonorous voice is perfect for the material, despite the (sometimes) raw nature of the writing there are some very funny passages and the reader captures the humour in the book perfectly. Highly recommended
by by by most western novels have a female love interest. n

What a trip! I am exhausted and bruised from this hunt. It was just like one of those Disney specials narrated by Rex Allen, except with no video.

Wow! This is the best narration of any book I’ve ever listened to. It’s as good or maybe better than reading one of my dad’s old hard back Zane Grey novels.

Great story read by a reader as good as they come. Here in Idaho we still have hunters that life like this, making the story all the more relevant and fun.
Interesting snapshot of the west.
