The book is 'a must' for cattle people, wildlife enthusiasts, historians, and the general public interested in Western or Texas ranching history. The concept for this book was to choose typical, important ranches which for one reason or another had an impact on Texas and the West.... Clayton covers the daily way of life, the dynamics of ranch life, the struggles that went into creating and sustaining the ranches?and the factors that contributed to and supported the dream-like myths of ranch life. Artist J. U. Salvant, in some superb watercolors, captures the nostalgia, the beauty, and the spirit of those ranches. Together Clayton and Salvant add a beautiful and fascinating book to the shelves of Western literature and life.
