First edition. Introduction by Donald R. Ornduff. Small quarto. Cloth, decorated endsheets, [10], 123 pp., introduction, illustrated, plates, portraits. The author provides biographical sketches of ranching families and prominent cattlemen, such as Dan Casement, George W. Littlefield, Alexander H. Swan, and many others. She reminisces about how these families were able to bring a measure of the "good life" to a region considered by most to be uncivilized. This is the portrayal of the lives and times of all those who fashioned culture out of the rawness of the early West. Fine in dust jacket.
