Trail Boss Monument #12/15

ARTWORK DESCRIPTION

Rifle out and at the ready!

You might say it is his welcome mat to the group of men approaching on horseback. It is amazing how a loaded rifle keeps things honest. This may be trouble – it may be nothing, but, he has not taken three herds up north being stupid and unawares. It would not be new to bury those that thought they could take his herd.

He has been stampeded, fought Injuns, weathered freak snow storms and seen blue lightning on the backs of steers in a storm. He knows the taste on the inside of a man that comes when trouble aint asked for. He cannot remember when it happened…he just feels right at home when he is up against it.

He rides for the brand – his loyalty is unquestioned. His men love him – for he plays with a square deck, and his straightness of back always lets you know where ya stand.
