His survival book, “Simple Survival, a Family Outdoors Guide,” is a Silver Award Winner from the Military Writers Society of American. Additionally, this book was added to the prestigious Estes Park Library in Colorado. His hobbies include hunting, camping, fishing, hiking, writing, cartooning, and reading.
His interest in the west developed when he was a young boy sitting beside his great-grandmothers bed listening to her tall tells of the west. She'd known the Youngers and James boys and often told him stories about them. While confined to her bed the last few years of her life, she spent most of her time talking with children, reading her bible, writing, or talking of the past.
W.R. Benton learned the west was hard on weak folks, often killing them before they had a chance to adjust to the change. It was also a place where a man was judged by his actions and his word. A man who was hard-working, honest, and had personal honor, was deeply respected. Two timing four flushers were either ran out of town or hanged.
So, with that said, come on in and visit with W.R. for a spell. He's been expecting you. You'll find his writing full of action, exciting, and true to life.
"My grandfather was a rancher in Colorado , where I grew up and one of last of the rugged men who were responsible for taming the wild west. He liked Louis Lamour. He would have loved W.R. Benton."
Robert Woods, actor
