The world's bestselling cowboy poet and author of Cactus Tracks & Cowboy Philosophy is back in the saddle with a hilarious roundup of essays, commentaries, and campfire verse that speaks to the cowboy soul in each of us.

"Baxter Black is Mark Twain served up with a little Groucho Marx."--The Weekly Standard

Share in the wit and wisdom of Baxter Black, public radio's favorite former large animal veterinarian. Drawn in part from Baxter's wildly popular NPR commentaries and syndicated columns, Horseshoes, Cowsocks & Duckfeet offers a generous helping of Baxter's tender yet irreverent, sage-as-sagebrush take on everything from ranching, roping, Wrangler jeans, and rodeos to weddings and romance, the love of a good dog, dancing, parenting, cooking up trouble, and talking about the weather.

With illustrations by noted cowboy artists Bob Black, Don Gill, Dave Holl, and Charlie Marsh and a timely foreword by historic cowboy sympathizer Herman Melville, Horseshoes, Cowsocks & Duckfeet will charm your chaps off.

Baxter Black was one of the bestselling poets in American history. In the tradition of humorists like Robert Service, Mark Twain, and Will Rogers, he examined his corner of Americana and sheds light on the whys and the why-nots of humanity. He was a frequent NPR commentator whose syndicated column, "On the Edge of Common Sense," appeared in more than a hundred newspapers. He was the author of Hey, Cowboy, Wanna Get Lucky?; Cactus Tracks & Cowboy Philosophy; Horseshoes, Cowsocks & Duckfeet; Hey, Cowgirl, Need a Ride?; and numerous volumes of poetry. He lived in Arizona among the catclaw and Gila monsters. Baxter Black died in 2022.
