From the Back Cover:
"Spangler Star Tukle is a Kansas cattleman with 6,000 acres and a low boiling point. (Tukle is so choleric that he empties a shotgun into a power mower that has offended him.) When the rancher decides to drive his 250 head of cattle to the Kansas City stockyards to save shipping costs, you can expect Murphy's Law to become 100 percent operative. . . . Atmospheric."--New York Times Book Review

"I [feel] honored and privileged to have the opportunity to express my enduring admiration for Robert Day and his delightfully readable, humorous, and plain-spoken novel, [which] I have been re-reading over and over for nearly three decades. . . . Day's lively portrait of his beloved home state of Kansas, often saddled by stereotypical images of being sternly Protestant, conservative, and teetotalling, instead becomes an example of a vibrant, varied society of free-wheeling individuals, rural and city men and women, who enjoy their tomato beer and whiskey and have strong opinions about what is wrong with the U.S. government and incorrect television and film versions of Kansas and the West."--Howard Lamar

"Bob Day's novel is like the man himself--ebullient, precise, Rabelaisian, witty. It's written in remarkably fine North American English. It wears its cowboy boots, as does the author himself, very comfortably and with a highly polished panache."--Anthony Burgess

About the Author:
Robert Day is professor of English and creative writing at Washington College in Chestertown Maryland.
