The fortune eluded him but he found instead a full and interesting life which, as he expressed it, "seemed to be inexorably tied up with sheep." Between his seventy-fifth and eightieth years, goaded by his nieces who had always been fascinated by his tales of the sheep trails of the past, Robert Maudslay preserved his memories in a series of letters addressed to one of his nieces, Amy Thalmann (Mrs. Frank M. Jones). The result was what J. Frank Dobie, noted writer of the Southwest, has described as "one of the most interesting and literate frontier narratives I have ever read," high tribute indeed from a Texas cowman! The high, dry lands of West Texas were especially well fitted for the raising of sheep, and the Spanish merino had already been successfully introduced long before Robert Maudslay arrived on the scene. He never became an important sheepman, but his experiences were typical for most sheepmen of his day and he wrote of them vividly, objectively, and with a sparkling touch of humor. In Robert Maudslay?s narrative breathes the spirit of the true frontier, the grandeur of the limitless West. The reader lives with him through the commonplace hardships of the range which so seldom find expression in literature ? the burning heat of the desert sun, the bitter cold of the blizzard, the incredible loneliness and isolation of the sheepman's life, the drives which sometimes extended over a quarter of the continent and tried the souls and bodies of the sheepmen to the breaking point. Robert Maudslay's story was edited for publication by another niece, Winifred Kupper, who accomplished the task with the assistance of the author himself prior to his death. TEXAS SHEEPMAN is a beautiful book, illustrated with photographs and six unusual drawings by Hilda Wilcox Phelps. [About the editor] Winifred Kupper was born on a sheep ranch at Bandera, Texas, in 1900. During World War I she was taught to work with sheep by her uncle Robert Maudslay and with him, for several years, took care of the sheep on the ranch. In 1917 she turned from sheepherding to school teaching. Her master's thesis, prepared under the direction of J. Frank Dobie, was based on Robert Maudslay's reminiscences of sheepherding which comprise the present book.
