One-Armed Cowboy

E. L. “Slim” Pond almost died when lost his right arm at sixteen. He recovered and his father sent him to work on a ranch in South Texas. Being a cowboy is hard enough for someone with two arms, but Slim decided he wasn’t going to let his handicap hold him back. He became a top cowboy and ended up running the ranch. That was the beginning of an incredible journey that took Slim Pond to Oklahoma and New Mexico, where cattle rustlers put a price on his head. Tall and plainspoken, like a Louis L’Amour character, Slim Pond never backed down from a fight or went back on his word. The story of his amazing life is entertaining, inspirational and informative for all ages.
