Overview

I met Hugh in 1999 while searching for some real cowboy's to get some good stories about life on the prairie. I could tell Hugh was the real thing even before he opened his mouth and then when he started to tell me his stories I felt like a miner who had just found gold! At the end of many of the stories he would pause, with a faraway look and say in his soft and humble way, Yeah, I could have been killed that day. It could have been true on any given day but lucky for us he lived through it all and like so many of his kind have lived to tell of this time that is rich with history and adventure. I don't believe that I will never see the likes of Hugh Court again. These are his stories, written by him, of his time as a ranch hand on the 30K acre Cochrane Ranch and later as a foreman on the Bar K 2 Ranch with 11,500 acres and the Knight Ranch that had 90,000 acres at the time Hugh rode them. We named the book Life In The Saddle because that seemed fitting for this old cowboy who tells his stories and then adds in a soft and humble way and I loved every minute of it and he did. I would like to believe that there is a Ranch somewhere in heaven with cows just waiting to be roped and a horse all saddled for Hugh just waiting to be rode! Compiled by Jeanne Aldrich
