T. F. Buck anonymously published his experiences in 1860 about early cattle ranching in South Texas. He bought and sold cattle from the O'Connors and other notable early Texas cattlemen, then wrote a book about his experiences in Texas, encouraging others to come a take advantage of the wide open pastures and fine climate. But the Civil War ensured that his work would never be widely distributed and he remained anonymous until 2013, when the editors at Copano Bay Press sought to put a name with this rare ranching history. Includes a biography of T. F. Buck, as well as helpful annotations within the text.
