Man-Shy: Frank Dalby DavisonFirst published in 1931, this is the story of a young red heifer who flees the grazing herd for a life of man free adventure on the open ranges. The mustering for drafting and branding was a distressing time for cattle. There was no escape from the stockmen hardbitten fellows, who came jig jogging through the timber astride of slim legged horses that could outpace the fastest bullock So begins Davison's story of men and cattle.
