You Ask Anybody

Casey Ryan is the kind of frontier legend that riders still whisper about around campfires. Born on the Colorado trails, he learned to whip six horses before he could walk, and his reputation for blazing the fastest stage routes earned him a nickname as quick as his temper. The opening of the tale throws us into a rough mountain road where a grizzly blocks his path and a band of robbers tries to hold up the coach, yet Casey meets each threat with a grin and a quick‑draw lash.

As the iron horse begins to crawl into the West, Casey’s contempt for early automobiles fuels a comic rivalry that colors his adventures. His larger‑than‑life anecdotes—saving a stranded girl, out‑witting a foreman, borrowing and winning back money at poker—paint a portrait of a man who refuses to let hardship stay longer than a tumbleweed. Listeners will follow his daring drives, his restless optimism, and the colorful cast of characters that orbit his unstoppable spirit.
