Being the wife of a Wyoming cowboy had sounded so exciting – living in a log cabin, eating succulent venison steaks, riding the range to the soundtrack of a John Ford movie... But no one had mentioned wind-blasted, manure-spattered days beginning at 5 am, or that the venison was likely to taste of manky old sagebrush soaked in rabbit pee. Or living in a dilapidated trailer house infested with creepy crawlies and smelly, adolescent cowboys because your first marital home was also the bunkhouse for the single men--

Lynn Parr spent 10 years living and working on cattle ranches in the Cowboy State. Season by season, I Married a Cowboy documents life on a working cattle ranch, its dramatic landscapes, the unforgiving elements, abundant wildlife – and the colorful characters struggling to survive in a life that has barely changed since the 19th century.
