Bj Smith

Cowboy Poet Extra Ordinaire

Bj Smith is every inch a cowboy. His experiences as a western outfitter and as a Mountie give a genuine richness to his storytelling. The upward curl of his moustache and the mischievous twinkle in his eye along with his easy going delivery makes the laughter come freely whether he is telling a real life adventure or a tall tale from the trail.

-Russ Graff, Director, Stony Plain Cowboy Festival

Within the pages of this book, you will be swept away to find your place 'round the campfire of a wilderness wrangler where laughter, wisdom and nature abound.  The stories between these covers describe a lifetime of experience as an environmentalist, alpine skier, Mountie of the North, horse whisperer and western humorist, told in rhyme and rhythm as they frequently are presented at Western festivals, banquets and the occasional cruise liner.

This is a special edition to honour the incredible cross Canada marathon, planned, prepared and completed horseback in 2008 by close friend and sole mate Maartje Van de Laar in order to raise awareness and finances for the Children's Wish (now known as the Make a Wish) Foundation.  All profits generated from the sale of this edition will be donated to that worthwhile charity.

The sight of a cozy camp of wall tents with stove pipes smokn’, steaks, beans, spuds and rhubarb pie ready for supper, high in an alpine meadow a couple days ride from the nearest road, is the reward wilderness wranglers enjoy and take pride in. This book has been designed to help outdoor enthusiasts who aspire to explore the back country horseback, by providing valuable information in planning, preparation, horsemanship, safety and enjoyment while leaving little or no trace so that generations to come can experience these remote pristine places our Creator has gifted us.
