Some of the best stories are the ones you never expected. Escape from an icy death. A barnstorming wing-walker with a thing for bull snakes. Betrayed star-crossed lovers who reunite after a lifetime apart. The candidate for U.S. president running on a pro-UFO ticket. A dinosaur hunter. The first woman ferry pilot on the Missouri River. A flash mob in 1969. Over a lifetime of reporting and writing, George Brandsberg has met thousands of people with big and small stories. In his books, he has told the complete story of the main characters. This book is about the fascinating individuals who didn't fit into a tidy box. These are the tales of people living in the American West whose daily lives were adventures in themselves. The people you will meet here are mostly humble and self-effacing. They don't think they've done anything remarkable. Ordinary. While *they* might not find their memories extraordinary, we think you will.
