“The Lost Cowboy” – J.B. Zielke, Part 1

Join us for a fascinating visit with J.B. Zielke, world traveler, and author of “The Lost Cowboy”. This captivating conversation lasted over 3 hours, so I will split it into 3 parts. Today, Living Western Podcast brings to you Part 1 of Clayton’s interview with J.B. Zielke, “The Lost Cowboy.”

J.B. is known for his epic journey to ranch on every continent that has critters to herd. The climax of this epic adventure was when he found himself riding a giant reindeer while herding other reindeer in Mongolia.

J.B.’s thirst for the wild in life, and his aptitude for descriptive writing are reminiscent of introspective literary works like those of Hunter S. Thompson or “Greenlights” by Matthew McConaughey, but those who love books that hearken back to the old days of the wild west and pioneer cattlemen will recognize a similarity to the revered cowboy book “We Pointed Them North”.

If you are curious what life is like for herdsmen/cowboys/Americans in other places around the world, or if you just love grand adventures with harrowing tales of disasters and conflict, as well as, heartwarming moments between people who cannot speak each other’s language, you will love this book!
