About This Book:

The most influential and well-received insider account of the history of the Texas Longhorn and the people whose lives were built upon the Longhorn trade.  This 1st Edition was published in 1941 by Little, Brown and Company-Boston.  Hardcover. Written by J. Frank Dobie and finely illustrated extensively by Tom Lea.  It is a signed by the author, who penned his brand below his signature. 

This book is in Very Good condition - no tears or damage to any of the pages and the binding is solid.  There are no marks penned besides the signature of the author.  The dust jacket is missing and there is some slight discoloration to the cover and the top of the spine has a wrinkle.

"One of the true classics of range cattle literature.  Based upon a terrific amount of research and written as only 'Mr. Southwest' could write it --- a major contribution to the history of the West.  Though chiefly about Texas and Texas cattle, a general history of the early cattle industry, its techniques and anecdotes about cowboys."
