High on a bluff overlooking the spot where Tornillo Creek pours its waters into the turbulent Rio Grande, the Langfords built their home, a rude structure of adobe blocks in a land reputed to be inhabited only by bandits and rattlesnakes. Big Bend is the story of the Langfords' life in the rugged and spectacularly beautiful country which they came to call their own. Langford's account is told with the help of Fred Gipson, author of Old Yeller and Hound Dog Man." - from the inner front jacket flap.

It is, also, a book that reflects a commonality of the Western experience of this Nation - a homesteader's story." - San Francisco Chronicle. "This is one of those rare books of actual experience with the smooth continuity of the best fiction." - Houston Chronicle. Du Pont Henry B. (photography); Langford, Joe W.
