Jackrabbit jewel and the longhorn cattle drive, hardcover/trey armstrong

When Jackrabbit Jewels friend Pecos Bill cannot take a herd of longhorn cows to a big ranch in Montana, the task falls to Jewel.

She follows the Goodnight-Loving Trail and must face many of the tribulations historical cowboys would have faced.

Jackrabbit Jewels character is based loosely on Jewel Frost Duncan, a pioneer ranchwoman and cowgirl who was elected to the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame in 1976.

As a publicity stunt, in 1937 Howards Studio in Pecos modified an image of her to make it appear she was riding a Texas-sized jackrabbit.

This historical photo was the inspiration for Conejo Grande, the giant jackrabbit who is Jewels mount and loyal companion throughout the story.

Jackrabbit Jewel is a childrens story that gently mixes Texas tall tale with the history of Texas and the Southwest.

TREY ARMSTRONG was born and raised in Pecos, Texas.

The fourth generation of a West Texas pioneer ranching family, he received his doctorate of veterinary medicine from Texas A M.

He and his wife Susanne own and operate Sandhills Veterinary Clinic in Monahans, Texas.

They have three children.
