Shoot Low, Boys---They're Ridin' Shetland Ponies

Description for SHOOT LOW, BOYS---THEY'RE RIDIN' SHELAND PONIES by Lewis Grizzard:

John Wayne had it. True Grit, that is. Bestselling humorist and philosopher Lewis Grizzard looked for other Americans with true grit. What he found will make you laugh and perhaps even wipe away a tear. True Grit. The people in this book have it. Namely, that there are people all over this country who've fought and won---or fought and lost---and spit in the devil's eye. And kept on spitting when the devil spit back.

All it took to find True Grit in America was bestselling humorist and philosopher Lewis Grizzard. And find it he did: in a 69-year-old Nashville man who retired from the real estate game to walk around the United States. In an Atlanta shoeshine man who left his job at the airport to go to work in the White House. In a 35-year-old divorcee who got all dressed up and proudly informed her mother she was off to have her first affair. In a six-year-old middle linebacker who learned what it was like to be benched.

It's tough as nails. It's funnier than hell. Sometimes it even gets at your heart. It's True Grit. The people in this book have it. So does Lewis Grizzard.
