Cattle Kings of Texas by C. L. Douglas

Cattle Kings of Texas! Claude LeRoy Douglas was a newspaper man in Fort Worth, back when people expected newspapers to give them the who, what, where, when and why without telling them how to feel about it. He loved the history of his state and wrote a number of books about it. He wrote a book on the Texas Navy, another on Texas feuds, and a biography of Governor Pappy O'Daniel. He even wrote the first book to chronicle the history of the Texas Rangers from Jack Hays to Frank Hamer. Claude beat Walter Prescott Webb to the punch by a year.In this book he set out to chronicle the history of the great cattlemen of Texas. I love books that give you an enjoyable way to absorb a lot of information on a subject, and Cattle Kings of Texas checks that box for Texas ranching and cattle raising. It gives you a solid base of information and provides a strong armature on which to build your knowledge. Claude had a dream team of advisors who helped him with Cattle Kings of Texas. J.
