Mustang Tales is a fictional collection of short stories, vignettes, and poems composed by the author based upon his life experience. While each may have some historically correct elements embedded in the text, the author has taken artistic liberties with all stories and vignettes. The stories, vignettes, and poems in this collection reflect the age-old human condition of coming of age and traversing the many situations and relationships one develops over a lifetime. No matter how far one travels or how high one flies, Dorothy’s concluding comment from the Wizard of Oz, … and oh, Auntie Em - there’s no place like home, sums in a few words everything that is important.
