"Davis Ford is a true son of the west who knows it, loves it,
and lives it. Who better to write the poignant and inspiring story of
Leroy Webb, to weave a true tale of a modern day old-time cowboy in
the context of the west that was, and is, and will be."

"Davis Ford's The Last Cowboy is an engaging look at how a
gifted cowboy lives in an era that has less and less use for or need
of cowboys. It is a pleasure to read."
        Larry McMurtry

        Lonesome Dove

"This book captured my emotions. The author has an innocence in
his tone, combined with obvious writing skill and intelligence,
all of which makes for an emotional ride. The title and theme of
The Last Cowboy are powerful."

"As a lifetime rancher, I have had the privilege of visiting all
the ranches in Davis Ford's book, The Last Cowboy. Being
a cowboy is the best way of life. I find the history and the way
of ranch life described in this book are excellent. It is a
privilege to have my comments on the cover of this book and
associated with the many great cattlemen of the West."
        Governor Bruce King
        Rancher
        Governor of New Mexico
        1971-1994

"Davis Ford's true and moving account of Leroy Webb tells the
story Waylon Jennings sang in the "Last Cowboy Song." Both will
endure."
        Jessi Colter,
        Singer/Songwriter

"Davis Ford's book, The Last Cowboy, has re-opened a stage of
American history. It's a book that should have been written years
ago and should be read by all of those interested in the critical
role America's cattle and those who managed and protected them
played in the history and development of our Nation."
