Jody Foss is a storyteller & adventurer, whose insatiable interest in the lives of the old timers of the West provides a rich background for this compelling narrative. Travelling with mules at three & a half miles an hour, with a deep appreciation for the wonders of Nature, Jody takes the reader across a landscape full of characters & unexpected adventure. With a delightful collection of illustrations by Bonnie Shields, the Tennessee Mule Artist, the story comes alive as the reader rides the West without getting saddle sore. With over thirty-five photographs, MULES ACROSS THE GREAT WIDE OPEN will delight readers of all ages. "Jody's wonderful outdoor experiences & character portraits catapult us back to a time when travel itself taught us much of what we know of people & places. This is a trail blazing adventure told from the lazy "altitude" of a mule's saddle. An absolute 'must' for public libraries! Happy trails to the reader!" - Anna Rees, Librarian. "This book makes me want to sell my car, get a mule, & hit the road. Jody Foss has written a gem - great reading for folks interested in life along the slowest of roads." - Chuck Woodbury, Editor, OUT WEST, America's on the Road Newspaper.
