Coyotes and Canaries: Characters Who Made the West Wild... and Wonderful!
Larry K. Brown
Coyotes & Canaries delves into the lives of some of the most intriguing
historical 
figures in Wyoming—indeed in all the West.
Author Larry Brown introduces us to such characters as Lou Polk and Dell Burke, soiled doves who not only survived but prospered; Ella “Cattle Kate” Watson who, due to the greed of others, died at the end of a rope; writer Owen Wister; suffragette and historian Grace Raymond Hebard; artist Juan Menchaca; world champion saddle bronc rider Jackson Sundown; Wild West hero “Buffalo Bill” Cody, and many more.
Includes chapters on 48 of Wyoming’s most colorful and intriguing historic figures. Many photos.
“…we are indebted to the time and talent
of Larry K. Brown and those who helped him along the extraordinary—and
no doubt from time to time bumpy—trails he pursued to bring us Coyotes
and Canaries. This is a book that will provide pleasure, adventure, and an
expanded knowledge of a wonderful state and its history.”
•• former
Wyoming Governor Mike Sullivan
“Wow! What a book!…An absolute must for
anyone interested in Wyoming history.”

A. Crutchfield, author of Mountain Men of the American West
“I’m a huge fan of Larry Brown’s twisted
sense of humor (see all of his book titles). He makes history fun and he
gets it right. What else could you possibly want?”
