Rounders 3: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Rounders 3" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

First published in 1960, the best selling novel The Rounders was immediately recognized as a rollicking classic of western fiction. The story of Dusty Jones and Wrangler Lewis, the stove-up cowboys whose luck is consistently bad, inspired a popular movie starring Glenn Ford and Henry Fonda, and a television series. In this edition of Rounders 3, all three of Evans?s classic Rounders tales are here, The Rounders, The Great Wedding, and The Orange County Cowboys, accompanied by the wonderfully authentic drawings of cowboy artist Grem Lee. In The Rounders, Dusty meets a roan named Old Fooler, a horse whose hooves should be cloven, he?s so mean-spirited. When Dusty?s not trying to send Old Fooler back to the devil, he is nursing the wounds, both physical and emotional, inflicted by the evil horse. In The Great Wedding, Dusty arranges to marry off his buddy, Wrangler, to a rich woman in Santa Fe, so they can all live happily ever after. High society in the Hi Lo Country will never be the same after a brush with these two rowdy range riders. And in the final, Spur Award-winning Novella The Orange County Cowboys, modern times catch up with Wrangler and Dusty when their boss, Jim Ed Love, plans to sell his ranch, their only home, to a Japanese investor. After reading this classic collection of western stories and characters you?ll never look at cowboys or the West in the same way again. Illustrated with Grem Lee?s wonderfully detailed sketches of cowboys, this volume should be on the bookshelf of every lover of authentic works of the American West.

Also being the account of searching for the
roots of the
Rounders trilogy
If there's anything to genes and heritage then Rounders 3 started in Lynn County, Texas, approximately twenty miles southeast of Lubbock, before I was born. My Evans grandparents had a modest-sized cattle ranch there along with six sons and one daughter. One son, WB., would later become my father.
It was the winter of 1918, the last year of the First World War. The eldest son, Elbert, had just been killed in combat in France. Before the family could overcome that shock, a terrible blizzard ripped down from the north. A great, black, rolling cloud stretched across the flat plains from horizon to horizon, leaving the family barely enough time to pen the chickens and open gates to corrals and haystacks. The horses and mules made it to these enclosures and survived. The cattle, scattered over many sections of land, turned their tails to the screaming wind and freezing snow, trying to move away from it. When they hit the long drift fence, they stopped and died.
The family huddled helplessly inside the shivering frame house for two days. Then it was over, and they moved out into the drifts to see what had survived. Most of the cattle were buried, frozen. The few that made it through the fence alive were found later in such pitiful condition that they had to be shot.
My Uncle Lloyd, of Levelland, Texas, recalls that the snow was piled so high in a plum thicket that they could walk right over the top of it. As the huge drifts melted and were dug away, they salvaged what they couldmostly cowhides. They split the hide properly, then finished peeling it off with a team of mules. It was a terrible struggle to save so little. Lloyd (who was ten years old at the time) remembers digging out what he thought was a cow and finding to his surprise a neighbor's hog standing upright, frozen solid, as if it had stopped to rest.
Page xii
My Uncle Bernard, presently of Dallas, Texas, was five years old and the baby of the family. He said, "If I live a thousand years, what I'll remember most vividly of that storm is a fence covered with cowhides as far as I could see."
