The Wagons of Perro Loco

About the Book

Lost loved ones, lost fortunes, and lost dreams were commonplace on the Western frontier. But, through the hardships, came the humorous old-timers. They could make a person smile in the wake of death, laugh in the face of danger, or teach youngsters how to cope with life’s problems. The Wagons of Perro Loco and Other Short Stories tells of family ranch life, alligator hunts, small-town festivals, the camaraderie of mountain men, and much more. In this collection, read and remember a horse named ‘Bitch’, dogs named ‘Boy and Girl’, and humorous characters named Lizard, Whiskers, and Chollie.

About the Author

J.L. ‘Doc’ Pendland was born in Northern Oklahoma, just a short 36 years after the former Indian Territory gained statehood. After graduating high school (nowhere near the honor roll) his work took him to North Texas, where he still lives with Carolyn, his wife of 49 years. Fifteen years after retirement, he began writing “The Wagons of Perro Loco and other short stories.” Much of the humor in his stories is readily supplied by friends and relatives, telling tales of their ancestors’ experiences, which he likes to ‘enhance’ and incorporate. Doc is currently working on a sequel to Warner Law.
