Jenkins BTB 82: "Haley's first book, this is nevertheless one of the best examples of his scholarship. . The volume is well-written, if a bit florid in places. . the book will last because it contains such a vivid picture of every aspect of life on a big ranch, expertly told by Haley." It was not the first ranch in West Texas, but after its formation in the 19th century, it became the largest single operation in the cow country of the Old West and covered 3 million acres, fenced.
