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 is one book for the coffee table!
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."

Frenchmen Art and Books is an independently owned and operated bookstore in New Orleans that now carries Nevada Bob Gordon's 50 Years with the Wrong Woman . The store can be found at 600 Frenchmen Street where it has been cultivating a following since 1978. If you check out their site you might find Delia Owens' Where the Crawdads Sing, which just happens to be a major motion picture that has been attracting audiences this summer. We're guessing that some day Nevada Bob's memoir will become a feature film. It's certainly worthy, a compelling story of resilience, with a mix of both action and humor A s its name proclaims,  Frenchmen Art and Books is more than a bookstore. They also feature original work by New Orleans artists Amzie Adams , David McPherson , Patrick Sart and others.  "I'm the fourth owner," owner David Zalkind told us. "My wife Gretchen and I own the store, and we have really good employees as well." Zalkind said the store s...

Nevada Bob Gordon is preparing for another road trip, this time to Stillwater, Minn, where he is slated to produce an audio version of his memoir 50 Years with the Wrong Woman at Wild Horse Recording. If you are involved with Twin Cities media in any way, Nevada Bob would make a great human interest feature for TV, radio or print. He will likely be recording at Wild Horse throughout the week. Owner/producer/audio engineer Daryl Bolicek is a great guy who is worth a story himself. To set up a time in drop in contact Daryl at wildhorserecording@gmail.com. After a stint in the Navy Nevada Bob joined a 1960s Seattle Police Force that was a little lax ethically. At the end of the Sixties, as his cousin Richard Gordon was receiving a parade in his honor for circumnavigating the moon, Bob was being discharged from the police department for improper behavior.  This was the beginning of a series of adventures in various walks of life. The devotion to his wife Carol, and her reciprocal devo...

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...
