ABOUT THE ARTIST
R.P. Smith
Broken Bow, NE
R.P. Smith is the fourth generation of his family to have the privilege to care for a small part of God's creation in central Nebraska. His poetry and stories are drawn from his own experiences and, on occasion, brought to focus through the lens of past and future generations. Thirty-plus years of sharing his brand of cowboy poetry, humor, and inspiration has occasionally helped with grocery money or a ranch payment, but the monetary gains have been pretty insignificant compared to the real payout—the trails he has been blessed to share with so many great folks along the journey.
