Críticas:

The departure of the grey wolves from [the Double Mountain Country] in 1880 was one of the most remarkable incidents that ever occurred....Early one morning about the middle of February, I was riding on the edge of the plains near the caprocks when I saw some distance from me a great string of objects, coming out of the canyon and heading in a northwestern course across the plains....[I] discovered to my astonishment that they were wolves....[T]here must have been several thousand of them. They were traveling in a lope or sweeping trot, they were probably twenty abreast, and the pack must have been two or three miles in length.

Reseña del editor:

For Pictures of the Past the author wove old buffalo hunters' stories into descriptions of the herds, the slaughter, Indian incidents, Fort Griffin, the battle at Adobe Walls, and much more. History That Will Never Be Repeated records lore of the cattle industry in West Texas from 1876. In these vivid accounts by cowboys and ranchers are some of the most emblematic events of the American West--riding line, working roundup, turning a drift herd--recalled not for their romance but for their hardship and for the sheer endurance required of the men who lived them. The remarkable period photography of George Robertson and Erwin E. Smith illustrates the book in duotone throughout.
