Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for KINGS OF TEXAS "Kings of Texas is a fresh and very welcome history of the great King Ranch. It's concise but thorough, crisply written, meticulous, and very readable. It should find a wide audience." -Larry McMurtry, author of Sin Killer and the Pulitzer Prize--winning Lonesome Dove "This book is about the King Ranch, but it is about much more than that. A compelling chronicle of war, peace, love, betrayal, birth, and death in the region where the Texas-Mexico border blurs in the haze of the Wild Horse Desert, it is also an intriguing detective story with links to the present-and a first-rate read." -H.W.

Book Synopsis Texas Women and Ranching by : Deborah M. Liles
Download or read book Texas Women and Ranching written by Deborah M. Liles and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-24 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, 2020 Liz Carpenter Award For Best Book on the History of Women The realm of ranching history has long been dominated by men, from tales—tall or true—of cowboys and cattlemen, to a century’s worth of male writers and historians who have been the primary chroniclers of Texas history. As women’s history has increasingly gained a foothold not only as a field worthy of study but as a bold and innovative way of understanding the past, new generations of scholars are rethinking the once-familiar settings of the past. In doing so, they reveal that women not only exercised agency in otherwise constrained environments but were also integral to the ranching heritage that so many Texans hold dear. Texas Women and Ranching: On the Range, at the Rodeo, and in Their Communities explores a variety of roles women played on the western ranch. The essays here cover a range of topics, from early Tejana businesswomen and Anglo philanthropists to rodeos and fence-cutting range wars. The names of some of the women featured may be familiar to those who know Texas ranching history—Alice East and Frances Kallison, for example. Others came from less well-known or wealthy families. In every case, they proved themselves to be resourceful women and unique individuals who survived by their own wits in cattle country. This book is a major contribution to several fields—Texas history, western history, and women’s history—that are, at last, beginning to converge.
Book Synopsis The XIT Ranch of Texas and the Early Days of the Llano Estacado by : J. Evetts Haley
Download or read book The XIT Ranch of Texas and the Early Days of the Llano Estacado written by J. Evetts Haley and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2013-06-14 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the famous ranch brands of Texas are the T Anchor, JA, Diamond Tail, 777, Bar C, and XIT. And the greatest of these was XIT—The XIT Ranch of Texas. It was not the first ranch in West Texas, but after its formation in the eighteen-eighties it became the largest single operation in the cow country of the Old West and covered more than three million acres, all fenced. The state of Texas patented this huge rectangle of land, at the time considered by many to be part of "the great American desert," to the Capitol Freehold Land and Investment Company of Chicago, in exchange for funds to erect the state capitol building in Austin. This "desert" became a legend in the cattle business, and it remains today a memory to thousands who recall the era when mustangs and longhorns grazed beneath the brand of the XIT. The development and operation of this pastoral enterprise and its relation to the history of Texas is the subject of this great and widely discussed book by J. Evetts Haley, now made available to readers every· where. It is the story of a wild prairie, roamed by Indians, buffalo, mustangs, and antelope, that became a country of railroads, oil fields, prosperous farms, and carefully bred herds of cattle. The XIT Ranch of Texas is the epic account of a ranching operation about which many know a little but only a few very much. It is the one volume that, more than any other, portrays the early-day cattle business of the West.

Book Synopsis Protection Agent by : Gordon Landsborough

Book excerpt: The land needs protecting... In the western-most part of Texas, ranch-heads have called in the help of the Cattle Association. The ranch over the Stampede river - run by the Azyad brothers - has been cutting down neighbouring fences and letting their cattle roam freely. The ranch-heads have no proof it was them, but the whole thing is losing them money and, more importantly, ruining the land. So in comes, John 'Big' Red M'Quaid, the Cattle Association Representative. All the big ranch-heads - Dan Collen, Rueben Ashe and Jup Hearne - are raring for action but if M'Quaid can help it, he'd rather avoid an all-out range war. And with no sheriff in the local town of Maverick, guns really are the law in this county. While Red tries to reason with the head of the Azyad brothers, M'Quiad quickly realises that it's a lost cause. On top of that, there's a telegraph line and a mailing station to protect, so naturally, they call in a protection agent. But he turns out to be M'Quaid's brother, Rory, and the two have never seen eye to eye. What happened to make his brother hate him so much remains a mystery to M'Quaid. Anyhow the county needs less violence, not more. If the ranchers get their fences up, M'Quaid's got a plan to make sure they stay up. And not only that, but to make sure that the Azyad brothers stay on their riverside, with their already over-grazed lands. But nothing is as easy as it seems and with Rory ready to lick him at any moment, M'Quaid has got to keep his wits about him. Can he bring peace to the region before it's too late? Protection Agent is a riveting western, with plenty of action and suspense to make this tale of loyalty and greed, a page-turner of a novel. A must-read for fans of Zane Grey. Gordon Landsborough (1913-1984) was a publisher, author and bookseller. Writing tales about the exploits of gun-toting cowboys fighting out on the arid sands of the Wild West, Landsborough was himself a pioneering in the English paperback publishing world of the 1950s. He was widely known amongst his peers as the 'maverick publishing genius'. His other western adventures include Fortress Jack Rides, Union Soldier, The Dog Men, The Fence Buster, The Stolen Bounty and Boss of the Diamond-O.
Book Synopsis The Texas Legacy Project by : David A. Todd
Download or read book The Texas Legacy Project written by David A. Todd and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2010-09-15 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A city dweller’s vacant lot . . . A rancher's back forty . . . A hiker's favorite park . . . When the places that we love are threatened, we can be stirred to action. In Texas, people of all stripes and backgrounds have fought hard to safeguard the places they hold dear. To find and preserve these stories of courage and perseverance, the Conservation History Association of Texas launched the Texas Legacy Project in 1998, traveling thousands of miles to conduct hundreds of interviews with people from all over the state. These remarkable oral histories now reside in an incomparable online and physical archive of video, audio, text, and other materials that record these extraordinary efforts by veteran conservationists and ordinary citizens to preserve the natural legacy of Texas. This book holds stories from more than sixty people who represent a variety of causes, communities, and walks of life—from a West Texas grocer fighting nuclear waste to an Austin lobbyist pressing for green energy. Each speaks from the heart in personal reminiscences and first-hand accounts of battles fought for land and wildlife, for public health, and for a voice in media and politics. These impassioned accounts remind us of the importance of protecting and conserving the natural resources in our own backyards . . . wherever they may be. Records of the archive are available at the Briscoe Center for American History at the University of Texas at Austin. Five dollars of the cost of this book goes to environmentally friendly materials and processes.
