Where is Mrs. Pilcher this time?

Have you ever dreamed of being a cowboy? Charlie always dreamed of being a cowboy. He listened to stories of the West and famous cowboys, and then would draw them. As he grew older, his dream stayed with him. When he was 15 his parents let him go West with a family friend. Charlie had found his home. He lived in the West the rest of his life, eventually working as a cowboy, but then the West changed, and he found his true calling — an artist. His paintings and sculptures are still on exhibit around the country today. This biographical book was written by Jeanette Winter.
