S. Omar Barker - Cowboy's Christmas Prayer

The following is a comment taken from our Vol. IV Issue of The OkieLegacy that we no longer have archived on our website. Even though it is past Christmas, we still love S. Omar Barker's poem, "Cowboy's Christmas Prayer."

"Yes S. Omar Barker is a many removed relation of mine. His father took his family into a valley in the mountains with a covered wagon and team of oxen. His father Squire Leander Barker was one of the first white settlers in New Mexico. Omar has a brother who was head of the New Mexico Game and Fish Department. He also wrote a book of his experiences of early life in New Mexico.

This Link (A Cowboy's Christmas Poem) is for a beautifully done version of the poem. It does not credit Omar with authorship which prompted the email you received. Keep up the good work I'm really enjoying your paper. Here's the entire story on S. Omar Barker - Cowboy's Christmas Prayer." -- Bill Barker   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
