Andrew Ferguson
1930-
"I was twelve years old when I broke my first horse. I rode bareback and the horse bucked all the way down a hill. I hung on so tight I pulled most of its mane out."
Andrew Ferguson only spent the summers at home. When he was eight he started to the Lebret Indian School and he stayed there until he was about sixteen. Then he went to Montana and worked for his uncle Edward Bear. "I learned a lot about horse handling from some old cowboys in Montana, and I always liked the cowboy life from then on."
In 1952 he returned to Wood Mountain to care for his grandfather, Nupa Kikte, who was slowly dying. |
