From the same corral that produced the widely loved Horse Tradin', Ben ';Doc' Green has rounded up fifteen new yarns filled with the ornery yet irresistible ';con' that has branded Doc's books as classics of Western Americana. Some More Horse Tradin' recounts the go-arounds of Doc and a whole slew of craggy old-timers and rangy characters, including a watermelon hauler ';who has a bit of snuff that seeps out a little on his whiskers,' Professor Know-It-All, the ';charitable' Mr. Undertaker, and the well-known public cowboy Will Rogers. See all of them matching their wiles and hear a lot of palaver, dealin' and tradin' for well-bred usin'-type mares, snorty-like range horses, and even used-to-be bad horses from the tumbleweeded plains of Texas to the mountain meadows of Yankee Vermont. Watch the Doc stretch a city ordinance with a frustrated lawman in ';The Last Trail Drive Through Downtown Dallas' and admire the old-time knavery, skill, and salesmanship in such tales as ';Gittin' Even,' ';Brethren Horse Traders,' ';Mule Schoolin',' and ';Water Treatment and the Sore-Tailed Bronc.'So here you gowith Doc Green and his horse-tradin' West in finest fettle. As he puts it himself, ';These apples come from the same barrel as Horse Tradin' but they ain't none of them spotty.'
