Ralph Moody's books "should be read aloud in every family circle in America." - "Sterling North." "A book I would especially recommend for someone with a problem. It is not a bit 'preachy,' but it warms your heart. It would be as appropriate for a secluded retreat for keyed-up executives as for a junior high library." - "Best Sellers." "Ralph Moody's story is a perfect example of rural American enterprise in the early 1920s...He found himself with mountainous debts through collapse of the livestock market. In the process of digging himself out of debt, he also saved a Kansas town from total bankruptcy...The reader lives through a flash flood, admires his sanitary slaughter house, and weeps over a forced farm auction. This book is a glorious recollection of pre-Dust Bowl, pre-Depression days and is highly recommended." - "Library Journal." "Horse of a Different Color" ends the "roving days" of young Ralph Moody. His saga began on a Colorado ranch in "Little Britches" and continued at points east and west in "Man of the Family", "The Fields of Home", "The Home Ranch", "Mary Emma & Company", "Shaking the Nickel Bush", and "The Dry Divide". All have been reprinted as Bison Books.
