Bull Hunter
Meer oor hierdie oudioboek
Bull Hunter was a young western boy of unusual size who eventually became known as the “Gentle Giant.” Because of his stature and prodigious strength, along with a sort of natural timidity, Bull was often derided, even by his cousins, as being “slow” mentally. Eventually, he met and was befriended by a famous gunfighter who taught him how to use a gun. That changed a lot of derogatory opinions about him, and he didn’t get bullied anymore. This is the story of the adventures of Bull Hunter, a Western story, of course, but also a close look at the the unique central character.
