BUD & ME THE TRUE ADVENTURES OF THE ABERNATHY BOYS

In 1909, five year old Temple and his nine year old brother, Bud, rode form Frederick, Oklahoma to Santa Fe, New Mexico… ALONE. And that was just the beginning. In a span of four years the Abernathy Boys traveled more than 12,000 miles by horseback, automobile and motorcycle, with the encouragement and understanding of their famous father, “Catch-‘em-Alive” Jack Abernathy, U.S. Marshal of Oklahoma, and friend of President Theodore Roosevelt who was renowned for his ability to catch wild wolves with only his hands.

Bud & Me, by Alta Abernathy, Temple’s wife of 64 years, is one of the 20th Century’s most exciting true stories of courage and adventure. It is also a story of family values, honesty, integrity and character.
