“I finally had a chance to read Bud & Me and I must say it was
the dearest book I’ve ever read. It ranked high on my list...and made
me really appreciate the simplicity and purity of children. What a joy
to read – a real adventure!”

“I found a freshness and provocation in
the book Bud & Me; freshness in the crisp writing style and provocation
in remembering my childhood and the innocence of our great country at
that time period. I heartily recommend the book to be read by fathers
to their sons.”

“I just finished reading your wonderful
book Bud & Me to my 4th grade class. The stories were funny,
scary, and above all, inspirational. My kids wanted more! Thanks again
for a wonderful, loving, sweet memory of two Oklahoma kids!”

“As I read Bud & Me I kept thinking
– this is fiction. Then I’d turn a page and here’s a
newspaper clipping or a picture of the boys, and this really brings
it to life. This is not just a story, this really happened! Bud &
Me is really a classic. I think it should be in every elementary
and middle school library in the country.”

Rodney Rayburn, DDS, Houston, Texas
“Bud & Me is a wonderful book and
a more wonderful story. It would be a gigantic hit as a movie! No violence,
no dope, no crime, just two great boys on an adventure and doing what
seems impossible by today’s standards.”

“Bud & Me will be one of our treasures.
It teaches so much – faithfulness, integrity, honesty, and most
of all – belief in God. This book is a precious gift for any age.”

“Anyone with a bit of wanderlust in their
soul will have a very difficult time putting this book down. It’s
difficult to imagine two lads, five and nine, walking to school today
much less traveling alone on horseback from ocean to ocean. Bud &
Me is one of those books that hold you spellbound while all the
time you are saying to yourself, “this can’t be true” and yet there
are photos to prove the story. Reading it to your kids and grandkids
can teach them self reliance and independence.”

“I ordered Bud and Me last year for my school’s
library, and it has become a favorite with all who read it. The story
is told from a first person perspective as the younger Abernathy brother
recounts the dangers and adventures he and his brother faced as they
traveled across America. Mostly, it is a story of the goodness of the
people who befriended the pair on their journeys. I would recommend
this book to anyone who loves history and adventure. Bud & Me
captivates both adults and children.”
