Download or read book The XIT Ranch of Texas and the Early Days of the Llano Estacado written by J. Evetts Haley and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2013-06-14 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the famous ranch brands of Texas are the T Anchor, JA, Diamond Tail, 777, Bar C, and XIT. And the greatest of these was XIT—The XIT Ranch of Texas. It was not the first ranch in West Texas, but after its formation in the eighteen-eighties it became the largest single operation in the cow country of the Old West and covered more than three million acres, all fenced. The state of Texas patented this huge rectangle of land, at the time considered by many to be part of "the great American desert," to the Capitol Freehold Land and Investment Company of Chicago, in exchange for funds to erect the state capitol building in Austin. This "desert" became a legend in the cattle business, and it remains today a memory to thousands who recall the era when mustangs and longhorns grazed beneath the brand of the XIT. The development and operation of this pastoral enterprise and its relation to the history of Texas is the subject of this great and widely discussed book by J. Evetts Haley, now made available to readers every· where. It is the story of a wild prairie, roamed by Indians, buffalo, mustangs, and antelope, that became a country of railroads, oil fields, prosperous farms, and carefully bred herds of cattle. The XIT Ranch of Texas is the epic account of a ranching operation about which many know a little but only a few very much. It is the one volume that, more than any other, portrays the early-day cattle business of the West.

Download or read book Riding for the Brand written by Michael Pettit and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-11-27 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Folks all over West Texas and eastern New Mexico will tell you: Cowdens have been ranching here for as long as anyone can remember. The Cowdens, in fact, have been at the forefront of the cattle business for 150 years. Arriving in Texas in the 1850s, Cowden men and women raised and trailed cattle, sought out water and better grazing land, tangled with Comanches—and helped extend the western line of Anglo settlement as they raised their families. They eventually moved to New Mexico, where they established the renowned JAL Ranch. Award-winning writer Michael Pettit, a Cowden descendant and former rancher, offers a compelling portrait of this genuine American ranching family. Riding for the Brand spans six generations and two states to serve up a real slice of the Old West, complete with cowboys and Indians, cattle and buffalo, open range and barbed wire. Pettit skillfully blends family saga with an urbanite’s firsthand look at life on today’s 50,000-acre Cowden Ranch, where the one dependable factor is the constant wind. Riding for the Brand traces the evolution of the Texas and New Mexico cattle business from the era of intimate ranching communities to today’s oil-enriched or corporate operations. But it’s also the story of one man’s search for identity through his connections to a family, a place, and a way of life.

Download or read book Runic Meaning in Texas Cattle Brands written by Bob Burleson and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in written mimes, the most important language for Bob Burleson's plays became SCENE DIRECTIONS. Opened & dynamic form, the VORTEX, followed in THE CLOSE SHAVE, one of those mimes. SPEECH sprang from the physical movement of RABBI AKIBA & flowered in THE MOON PROPHET. The DRAMATIC ESSAY, a fourth growth level, extended the beginning silence, preverbal form, & verbal representation antecedent to it. The dramatic essay names a character after the playwright in his own work to know himself. THE SHOUTING HEAD OF PROPHET JOHN cast him as a child of its characters & changed him to a new man after he conquered its illusion. JAZZ PERFORMANCE IN THREE OR FOUR SETS expelled him so he & the tetralogy-trilogy, appearing in four OR three plays, each could stand independently of the other. Instead of beginning with objectivity, JAZZ PERFORMANCE established a way to make objectivity the theme of its own growth. The fifth level of the ORGANIC THEATRE inductively & developmentally expressed the dialogue & internal movement of all plays in the MISE-EN-SCENE. Plays & esthetic theory made one PRAXIS.
