Memoir of a Colorful Western Character: Early Reviews

-

The early consensus is that Nevada Bob Gordon's newly released memoir, 50 Years with the Wrong Woman is a real page-turner. Here are some of the early reviews that have been shared.

Posted today on Amazon:

Memoir of a Colorful Western Character
This memoir is overflowing with insightful anecdotes about living life fully. The author is a jokester, badass, and gifted storyteller; he is also a singing cowboy with several CDs to his credit. The breadth of his 80 years of life experience (including 58 years of marriage) is awesome. His stories about working in the Seattle Police Force are particularly compelling. As the memoir progresses, it becomes more of a cowboy tale as he works on different ranches out West, continuing to engage in tomfoolery and new adventures. He and his family face numerous crises, most of which they miraculously survive and others that are tragic. This is a great book to read with a couple of beers – once you start it, you will find it hard to put down.

This book belongs on everyone's coffee table! No matter what page you turn to, there is an almost unbelievable story! Nevada Bob and his family have really had an adventurous life with good times and sad times, and it's all true. I loved the whole thing! They should make a movie of this one! I wholeheartedly recommend '50Years with the Wrong Woman'

This review came by email from a friend of Bob's:

"Bob is a bonafide Western Cowboy! His book is the spellbinding story of a hard-working family devoted to God, hard work, resilience, exciting jobs, and new adventures. Supported by a beautiful wife, they tackle new opportunities with humor and gusto. I found it hard to put the book down while waiting to turn the page to see what job he would tackle next. I highly recommend the book for your reading enjoyment."

Earlier this summer Nevada Bob Gordon recorded his memoir 50 Years with the Wrong Woman at Wild Horse Studio in Stillwater. While there, Bayard Godsave of the Stillwater Gazette dropped in to meet Bob and do a story.  The article posted online yesterday and it's a really fun read.  Godsave successfully captured the Nevada Bob's spirit, and also uncovered some facts that even I didn't know about the rancher, singer/songwriter and author. Here's the beginning of the article with a link to the rest. I especially like the non-clickbait nature of the article title. Just the facts. All good.

In the heart of Miami's Little Havana there's a wonderful little store named Sentir Cubano. When Nevada Bob Gordon was in Miami this fall he discovered this hidden gem on Calle 8, a store dedicated to Cuban culture.  Nevada Bob met owner Maria Vazquez they hit it off famously. Maria described him as a true American hero. " Bob is part of the culture we present here in the store. Hard working, successful, positive people....  He's like an All-American Cowboy... He's an amazing person. It's commendable when you are 83 and still going,"  Vazquez said. Maria and Miguel Vazquez opened the store in 2001. "It was time to create a store dedicated to Cuban culture," she said. Thus was born Sentir Cubano. Maria shared some of her own story. "Our parents brought us here (to Miami) when we were kids, in 1960-61. As we were growing up we didn't fully appreciate our background. But when we became older we discovered afresh how rich our culture is. We&
