Green was a first-rate raconteur. Apparently, he was a pretty horse trader too. And like all good horse traders, he was known to take the occasional liberty with the truth. For example, Green claimed for the longest time to be a veterinarian, often signing his books “Dr Ben K Green”.   Alas, he was not an esteemed Doctor of Veterinarian Medicine. Still, he was a great storyteller. The story he tells in this book is no exception. While a teenager, a shortage of horses in East Texas created an early opportunity for Green. He went West to acquire horses. That has the makings of a pretty good story; however, it was getting the horses home that brings the laughter.
