Great historical look back.
Such an interesting slice of overlooked American history. Found copies for GF's son working in Austin and dad who grew up near Woodward Oklahoma and the cattle drives. Nice stories that all ring true. Read full review...
Six Thousand Miles of Fence
This book gave a number of first hand accounts of working on the XIT Ranch from the late 1800's into the early 1900's when it was sold. The reading was sometimes a little awkward, using the language of the time for many of the accounts. Overall, quite informative. I had recently read about the XIT Ranch as it was located in the region of the early 1900's Dust Bowl, and I wanted more information on the XIT Ranch itself.Read full review...
History outside of School
I have always been interested in US history especially about the western frontier, and this book gave not only history but first hand reports as they lived the life in this time of our history.
