Some folks are just born to tell tall tales.  Brett Cogburn was reared in Texas and the mountains of Southeastern Oklahoma.  He had the fortune for many years to make his living from the back of a horse, where cowboys still step on frisky broncs on cold mornings, and drag calves to the branding fire on the end of a rope from their saddlehorn.  Growing up around ranches, livestock auctions, and backwoods hunting camps filled his head with stories, and he never forgot a one.
