Headed West To Be A Cowboy Friday, September 30, 2005

How much fun would it be to become a cowboy, dressed in chaps and cowboy boots with spurs, and spend your days riding a horse? Did you know that was once Brother Branham's dream?

It was about this time of year, September of 1926, when he was about 18 or 19 years old, that Brother Branham left home for the west, intending to become a cowboy. Play Audio

Brother Branham took a job on the Circle R Ranch in Wickenburg, Arizona and became quite skilled at riding. Over the next 40 years, he never lost his love for the west, the place he described in his poem: Click Here

I am lonesome, oh, so lonesome for that far away southwest,
Where the shadows fall the deepest over the mountain crest.

I can hear a lobo hollering down where the longhorns graze.
And somewhere up a canyon I can hear a lion whine,
In that far off Catalina Mountains at the Arizona line.
