About This Item
Austin, Texas: 1962-1987. Very Good. 1997. First Edition. Softcover. 0292752059 . Book is clean and tight. Tiny bit of shelf wear to tips of corners. The authors "... Bring together the voices of these men and women who make ranching possible in the Wild Horse Desert. From 1989 to 1995, the authors interviewed more than sixty members of vaquero families, ranging in age from 20 to 93. Taken together, their words provide a panoramic view of ranch work and life that spans most of the twentieth century." " The vaqueros and their families describe all aspects of life on the ranches, from working cattle and doing many kinds of ranch maintenance to the home chores of raising children, cooking, and cleaning. The elders recall a life of endless manual labor that nonetheless afforded the satisfaction of jobs dones with skill and pride." Everyone who knows about the King Ranch recognizes the name, Tio (Stephen J. ) Kleberg. . .
