"He has captured the essence and spirit of an unforgettable era." Los Angeles Evening Citizen

"The author takes the reader through the first days of ranching with its heart-breaking disappointments and back-breaking labor to the days when Jesse Chisholm, a half-breed Indian trader, created a trail which he never dreamed was to be the greatest cattle highway the world has ever known. A painstaking and perceptive documentation of a colorful and vital chapter in Texas history." Tyler-Courier Times
