Autobiographical in form, this book follows in a matter-of-fact way “the career of a young man, who, after serving his four years in the Confederate army, made his way from his native Virginia to Texas, there to become foreman of the ‘cattle drives,’ and so by degrees ranchman and owner of many acres and many herds.” (N. Y. Times.)
“The account of the cowman’s worldly success is, let us admit, by no means free from exaggeration, but the book gives the best picture of the life of the times of any we know, and we heartily recommend it.”
