I find this poem titled as "The Open Road" and " The Open Book" on the web but I buckaroed for many years in the Nevada, California and Oregon ranges that Curly Fletcher knew well. I have heard it recited in cow camps by many cowboys,some of whom probably learned it from Curley himself and never in 71 years of my life have I ever heard it called anything but The Open Ledger until I got on the internet. Am I missing somthing out there or what?
