Description:
<p><b> Winner of the 2009 Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour</b> </p>

<p> <i>The cops wanted to shoot me, my bosses thought I was a Bolshevik, and a local lawyer warned me that some people I was writing about might try to test the strength of my skull with a steel pipe. What more could any young reporter hope for from his first real job? </i></p>

<p>The night Mark Leiren-Young drove into Williams Lake, British Columbia, in 1985 to work as a reporter for the venerable <i>Williams Lake Tribune</i>, he arrived on the scene of an armed robbery. And that was before things got weird. For a 22-year-old from Vancouver, a stint in the legendary Cariboo town was a trip to another world and another era. From the explosive opening, where Mark finds himself in a courtroom just a few feet away from a defendant with a bomb strapped to his chest, to the case of a plane that crashed without its pilot on board, <i>Never Shoot a Stampede Queen</i> is an unforgettable comic memoir of a city boy learning about—and learning to love—life in a cowboy town. </p>
