"I found Laura Wilson's book engrossing. She catches the spirit of Texas ranching and the cowman almost perfectly. One is always aware that Watt Matthews and his family, as well as the people in Albany, Texas, are aware of a wider world. This is one of the best treatments of Texas cattle ranching that I have read." - William H. Goetzmann, Jack Blanton Professor of American History, The University of Texas at Austin.
