 R C evolved as a result of our firm accepting on consignment TDudley R. Dobie’s massive library on Texas and the West. In truth, it was the two lovely edi- tions of Mary Austin Holley’s wonderful  and  guides to Texas that initially caused an acquisitive gleam to sparkle in my eyes. However, the first logical question was:“What in the world will we ever do with the other , books?” Confronted with a veritable avalanche of books, we decided to organize the material into subject catalogues that had the potential to enhance the understanding and bibliography of Texana and Western Americana. We began this process with our publication of the first catalogue of the Dudley R. Dobie, Sr. series, devoted entirely to the life and work of his cousin, J. Frank Dobie. Over , individual items were offered in our Catalogue Ten (Part ), the J. Frank Dobie Catalogue. Our next catalogue in this series was for an auction of select rarities from Dudley R. Dobie’s library. The third catalogue in the series was our Catalogue Ten (Part ), documenting the life and work of master printer Carl Hertzog of El Paso (over , entries). Serendipity reigned, and we were asked to handle Carl Hertzog’s own library, which was included in, and greatly enhanced, the Dudley R. Dobie Hertzog catalogue. The present catalogue is the fourth in the Dudley R. Dobie series, and it is devoted entirely to the subject of ranching. This is but the first installment (letters A-C) of the four parts of the Ranching Catalogue. After the four parts of this Ranching Catalogue, the other catalogues to be published in the Dudley R. Dobie series will be Texas County and Local History; the Big Bend; and a quite extensive auction of general Texana and Western Americana. At the moment when we were on the verge of publishing the first part of the Dudley R. Dobie Ranching Catalogue, the Autry Museum of Western Heritage in Los Angeles approached our firm about handling their duplicates from the collection of Fred A. Rosenstock, the well-known Colorado bookman. Several years ago, the Autry Museum astutely purchased the fabulous Rosenstock Collection as the foundation of their important Research Center library. After sev- eral years spent selecting all of the books and other materials appropriate to the Autry Museum’s institutional scope, the Museum was left with a huge number of Western Americana duplicates, rivaling in number those of the Dudley R. Dobie Library. Fred Rosenstock and Dudley R. Dobie were both avid bookmen and respectable bibliomaniacs whose passion led them to accrue vast numbers of books. With the library of Dudley R. Dobie, Sr., I already had more books than I ever imagined would pass through my hands in my professional life. Thus, I felt some trepidation about taking on yet another huge consignment of books from the Autry Museum. But all caution and prudence were thrown to the four winds in the blink of an eye when I visited the Autry Museum to view their Rosenstock duplicates. Never had I seen such enticing “leftovers” as those that remained after the Research Center staff had made their selections of material to retain for their library. Among the very first books spied on the shelf was a very fine copy of the first printing of E. C. (“Teddy Blue”) Abbott’s We Pointed Them North: Recollections of a Cowpuncher edited by Helena Huntington Smith and illustrated by Ross Santee (appropriately, Item  in the present catalogue). Not only was the Rosenstock duplicate of Abbott’s book in wonderful condition, it also had the elusive dust jacket! That was one of the books that Dudley R. Dobie did not have in a first edition in his col- lection. That was it—one of those fateful moments when the door opens wide and one falls through. Never mind practicality. Never mind that each day has only twenty-four hours. Never mind the questionable bottom line. It suddenly seemed not only proper and desirable, but absolutely necessary, that I boldly assume responsibility for not only the Dudley R. Dobie Library, but the Autry-Rosenstock duplicates as well. As I worked my way through a swift inspection of the huge gathering of Autry-Rosenstock du- plicates, I became more and more excited in realizing how perfectly the Dobie and Rosenstock Sloan Rare Books ranching books complemented one another. Dobie’s collection emphasized Texas and the South- west, with interesting inroads into Mexico and Argentina. Rosenstock’s collection, while rich in Texas material, had great strengths in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, California, and the Pacific Northwest. Between the two collections, the range of variants, editions, and unique association copies was marvelous. Here was a unique opportunity not only to catalogue and sell good, solid books, but to do something significant with them that would honor both Dobie and Rosenstock. I must admit that deciding how to organize the sale of these tens of thousands of books was a dilemma for us, since we are much more accustomed and inclined to deal with the few, select rar- ities, such as rare cartography, high spots of Western Americana and Texas, or the Zamorano Eighty collection of the most important books on California. Seeing the large number of mint copies of the worthy Arthur H. Clark publications, our first step was to create a bulletin of those wonderful titles as a way of gingerly dipping our toes into a vast river of Western Americana in which we feared we might drown. Next, we conducted a careful roundup of the Rosenstock duplicates that related to ranching. This meant reviewing tens of thousands of books and pulling titles found in Ramon Adams’ bibliography, The Rampaging Herd: A Bibliography of Books and Pamphlets on Men and Events in the Cattle Industry (Item  herein). Since Adams’ bibliography was published in ,we encountered many ranching books published after Adams’ book was completed; of course, we added those books. In reviewing every single Rosenstock duplicate, we also discovered many books that were not in Herd, but which had good ranching content, or in some way illuminated the wide horizon or the nooks and crannies of the cattle country. We felt that such books offer important insights and present an opportunity for libraries and collectors with ranching collections to expand their existing holdings in a meaningful way with Western Americana titles of tangential interest. When we went back to the ever-patient and understanding Dobie family and explained what we wished to do with respect to the Dobie Ranching Catalogue, Marcelle Dobie Smith, Dudley R. Dobie, Jr., and Jim Dobie graciously agreed to allow us take temporary leave from their consign- ment to work with the Autry Museum of Western Heritage in Los Angeles. In November of  we conducted an auction at the Autry Museum of the non-ranching Rosenstock duplicates—over , individual items relating to American and Western history. The Autry staff, including Manola de la Madrid, Jeanette Hoskinson, Sharon Johnson (rest in peace), Kevin Mulroy, and many other hardy souls at the Museum kindly assisted us in this unusually large undertaking. Next we brought the Rosenstock duplicates of ranching titles from Los Angeles to Austin, where we had constructed a special climate-controlled library with compact shelving to properly and securely house the Rosenstock and Dobie ranching books. The fortuitous commingling of these ranching books, along with other consignments from generous, interested parties, is the cat- alogue you now hold in your hands (or view over the Internet); three additional parts to this Ranching Catalogue will be published over the next year and a half.

Perhaps we are not the most fit to loose this motley herd on the bibliophilic world. We find par- ticular delight in the arcane corners of the cattle country, such as photographs of herding turkeys in Texas, a little gem of an essay on horse slobber, and epic gaucho poetry. Other tales that piqued our interest involved the heartbreak of a tough cowboy reduced to licking horse sweat from his saddle after the chuck wagon’s salt was lost on a rough trail drive; the daring introduction of the “divided skirt” for women riding astride in Ouray County, Colorado; Philip St. George Cooke’s account of “The Battle of the Bulls” during the - Mormon Battalion march across the jor- nada de muerte from New Mexico to California; a masked ball in wild and woolly Deadwood at which one lady wore a dress emblazoned with all the regional cattle brands; Captain Jack Craw- ford’s hilarious account of “Broncho vs. Bicycle,”complete with wacky photographs; and little girls trapped atop a large boulder on Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake, terrorized by wild cattle. We have been fascinated to encounter material that falls outside of the usual Marlboro-man stereotype: a good selection on women in the cattle country; many accounts and descriptions of Catalogue Ten, Part Four, The Ranching Catalogue, A-C gauchos, charros, and vaqueros; several items relating to Australian and aboriginal cowhands; an account of rustling problems in the Boer Wars; a great number of items on the Spanish missions and the Spanish Southwest (generally unheralded in spite of their foundational role for ranching history in the Americas); an account of a vaquero’s experiences in the s on the Dadanawa Ranch near the Guyana-Brazil border on the Rupununi River; two rare and early ephemera on the Calgary Stampede; an uncommon, lively chromolithographed program for Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show in ; and much, much more. The history of the cattle industry is the history of far more than just cowboys, trail drives, and ranching. It is the history of the spread of European domination over the landscapes of the Amer- ican West, and indeed, much of the New World. While trappers were generally the first to open a new region, discovering and establishing trails, and decimating select species of native fauna, it was cattlemen who wedged open the door for an incoming flood of “civilization.”When opening a new frontier, livestock raising was often the first major endeavor, allowing both subsistence and a chance for some economic gain in regions where no infrastructure or economy was yet in place. The vast herds of bison that once roamed the American West, and the Native Americans, so many of whom were dependent on the bison, were cleared to make way for domesticated grazers. Once the perils of the frontier were somewhat mitigated by the persistent presence of the cattlemen, others—more civilized, more fearful, or both—began to arrive and establish homesteads, settle- ments, towns, and agriculture. As settlement increased, so too did land-use conflicts, and thus arose the need for fencing and the invention of barbed wire. Just as cattle came to dominate many Western landscapes, so too has the mythic image of the American cowboy branded itself upon the American psyche. The cowboy was larger than life even at the beginning of his fleeting heyday (from the end of the Civil War to the mid-s). Sometimes the individual cowboy had difficulty swaggering up to his own self-imposed tough stereotype. The average age of the American cowboy was twenty-four years, about one in three was Mexican or Black, and the most common end for a cowboy was being dragged to his death by his horse. These young men were as various as any group, despite facile typecasting, and the “real” face of the cowboy is not so easy to discern. In fact, the “real” face of the approximately forty thousand men who rode the range is approximately forty thousand faces. Values like courage, in- dividuality, stoicism, and freedom are often associated with the American cowboy, but in the early days, the term “cowboy”was sometimes used to refer to outlaws. The term “cowboy”is said to have been the name used for armed Tories in the American Revolution who softly clanged cowbells to lure patriot farmers into being ambushed in the brush while searching for lost cows. Contradictions abound regarding the cowboy, and little wonder this is, when one considers the time and place in which the American cowboy dwelled. Against a background of rigid Victorian values, the cowboy lived desperately by the tough Code of the West,often in hazardous conditions, and with his employer having scant regard for his welfare. The cowboy pitted his body and mind against a landscape of sweeping grandeur which often was rife with misery and death. The dichotomy between the glamorous mystique of the cowboy and the stark reality of his harsh and frequently mundane life is one of the most intriguing aspects of the many historical and cultural threads relating to cowboys and ranching. What does this mythologizing tell us about our culture? Are we searching for an American identity, or are these creative and sometimes ludicrous and humorous interpretations a result of idealized notions? As postmodern life becomes more complex and technology increasingly pervasive, are we attempting to hearken back to the seeming simplicity of a pastoral existence that is for the most part gone with the wind? Perhaps the answer is more simple. Recently a friend emailed that because he feels concern about his adolescent son’s values and rebelliousness, he is planning a working vacation this summer with his son on their family ranch on the Montana-North Dakota border, far from urban trappings. He wrote: “Ranch- ing is a life attached to the land, simple and fundamental. I want him to learn as I did. I never learned so much as when I was left in charge of all the cattle calving on their own in blizzards with me to keep the coyotes at bay and help them through birthing. It’s remarkable, the cycle of it all.” Sloan Rare Books

Fascination with ranching history and the cowboy has spawned an incredible wealth of printed material. It sometimes seems that almost any historical account of the American West will yield information and asides on cattle and ranching if examined closely enough. We were interested to learn that the Hudson’s Bay Company for a time held a virtual monopoly on the incipient cattle trade in the Pacific Northwest. The most unpromising Utah county history might reveal the sur- prising information that not only the entire town, but sometimes even their livestock, were hired out as extras when Westerns were filmed in the region. Through the pages of this catalogue (and the next three in this series), many lesser-known corners of the cattle county will come to light: the Southern Trail whereby Texas cattlemen supplied California and the miners for several decades; Wild West shows other than Buffalo Bill Cody’s; rustling not just by Native Americans but also from them; women and children in the cattle country; the economic side of ranching; and rodeo and its evolution. In Bill Reese’s excellent bibliography, Six Score: The  Best Books on the Range Cattle Industry, we found the following quote which really says it all from the collecting perspective: “[Philip Ash- ton Rollins] was one of the great collectors of Western Americana.... He once walked into Charles Everitt’s store in New York and said he wanted ‘every damn book that says cow in it.’All great cat- tle collectors since have observed this maxim” (Reese, Six Score ). And while we were sorely tempted to cast our lasso that wide, we chose to let some of the mavericks go, facing the reality that oxen and dairy cows really do not belong in this corral. Even so, we cannot resist observing that some ranchers in California made their start in ranching by purchasing and nurturing the exhausted, emaciated oxen that had faithfully transported the overlanders west. Because this is a bookseller’s catalogue, and not a bibliography or the catalogue of a compre- hensive collection, the selections herein are of necessity dictated by our stock on hand, and in no way represent any attempt at completeness.We certainly hope that we do not see future statements of “Not in Dobie-Rosenstock.”There are quite a few important and rare ranching books that will not make their appearance in these pages, we are sorry to say (consignments of ranching rarities are invited and encouraged!). However, we believe that the variety and depth of the material that is present will compensate for any shortfall. And while some high spots may be missing from these pages, there is virtually no corner of ranching history that is not illuminated: all of the great cat- tle trails, and a few quite obscure ones; every aspect of life and work on the range, from equipage, roping, and branding to chuck wagons, entertainment, and outlawry; range wars great and small; the coming of fences and the cutting of fences; nesters and cattle barons. This wealth of informa- tion comes in many forms, including ephemera, fiction, poetry, photo-essays, art, scholarly stud- ies, and innumerable biographical accounts. Most of the Western illustrators are well represented, including Frederick S. Remington, Charles M. Russell, Ross Santee, Edward Borein, E. Boyd Smith, Maynard Dixon, Tom Lea, and José Cisneros. Aside from content, the books herein are interesting purely from the standpoint of collecting. One would be hard-pressed to find a private collection of ranching books with so many binding variants and as many signed and association copies. There are many books from the libraries of Carl Hertzog, Dudley R. Dobie, Sr., and J. Frank Dobie. Those from J. Frank’s Dobie’s library often bear his manuscript notations in regard to the book (some of Pancho’s comments are quite caus- tic, to say the least). Often the books offered here are exceptionally fine copies, and many scarce dust jackets are present. Since ranching is such a pervasive element in the American West and its history, this catalogue also presents an excellent cross-section of Western Americana. Every Western state is represented in these pages, and there are many local and regional histories that provide information at great depth. Perhaps nothing makes the ubiquity of stockraising so clear as how this effort was under- taken upon every variety of Western landscape—from the arid brush country of South Texas to the lush Pacific Northwest, and from the Great Plains to the Rocky Mountains and on to the shores of the Pacific. Every era from early Spanish exploration to the present is covered. And while most early explorations were clearly ruled out as having no relation to the cattle trade, many other facets Catalogue Ten, Part Four, The Ranching Catalogue, A-C of the West are well represented: fur trade and mountain men, overland narratives, mining, rail- roads and transportation, Native Americans, military history, women’s history, social history, material culture, law and lawlessness, Black history, natural history, agriculture, literature, local history, economics, politics, missions and missionaries, etc. We are pleased to have gathered so many items in Adams’s The Rampaging Herd and surprised that we have even more from Adams’s Six-Guns and Saddle Leather: A Bibliography of Books and Pamphlets on Western Outlaws and Gunmen (Item ). Although we do not have all of the titles in Merrill’s Aristocrats or Reese’s Six Score, in the four parts of the Ranching Catalogue, we are offer- ing a very respectable grouping of those collectibles. And while this catalogue contains many appealing and arcane detours in the cattle country that allow an expanded and enhanced view of ranching, bedrock ranching books are abundant throughout.

We have learned a great deal in working with these books. We hope that you will enjoy this cata- logue as much as we have enjoyed compiling it. Dorothy Sloan Dudley R. Dobie REMEMBERING DUDLEY R. DOBIE, SR.

 R D,Sr., antiquarian bookseller, was born on August , , at old DLagarto in southern Live Oak County, Texas, to William Neville and Mary E. (Mills) Dobie, prominent South Texas ranchers. Family pioneers had first settled in Harris County in . Dudley’s branch moved to Live Oak County in the late s. Dudley’s first cousin, J. Frank Dobie, grew up on a nearby ranch, but their sixteen-year age difference inhibited the develop- ment of close friendship until Dudley reached maturity. He received his childhood education in the Lagarto school and graduated as valedictorian from Mathis High School in .After a year of unsuccessful job seeking, he entered Southwest Texas State Teachers College, and from that time he considered San Marcos his home. He received his degree in history in May  and that fall was named principal of Westover School on the west side of San Marcos. Two months later he married Deborah Galbreath, who became the mother of his three children. He later looked back on the winter of - as the time he began to get serious about book collecting. In the summer of  he embarked upon a graduate degree in history at the University of Texas, where he returned each summer for the next four years. Walter Prescott Webb supervised his thesis, “A History of Hays County, Texas.” In  Dudley left teaching to become an educational advisor for the Civilian Conservation Corps. He had already begun free-lancing newspaper and magazine articles about historic persons, places, and events for sundry Texas publications. He became a bookseller in  and further supplemented his uncertain income by scouting artifacts for the Hall of State, which opened in Dallas the following year. Throughout the s he systematically expanded his knowledge of books and his acquaintance among book people. He attended annual meetings of the Texas State Historical Association, the Old Trail Drivers Associ- ation, and on occasion the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association. He also kept mem- bership in the Texas Folklore Society, where his cousin J. Frank was the secretary-editor. In all of these groups, Dobie quickly identified the authors and collectors. During the winter of - he helped the Texas State Historical Association organize its first book auction, now a traditional fea- ture of its annual meeting. Following his debut as a bookseller, and while working for the Texas Centennial Commission, he was also running a mail-order book business out of his home. He would periodically load his car with books and head for San Antonio, Austin, or elsewhere, and collar potential customers in their homes or businesses. In  he began a ten-year career at Southwest Texas State Teachers College as a nontenured, part-time history instructor and part- time museum director. His status was such that he was able to continue his bookselling and, in , issue his first printed catalogue, Spirited Southwest: Roundup No. . From  to  he served as a San Marcos city alderman. Dobie’s connection with the college ended in .A year later he opened a bookstore in Austin on the site of what is now Dobie Center, near the University of Texas campus. Not achieving the hoped-for success, he closed his Austin store and later made an unsuccessful race for school superintendent in Hays County. In  he opened a bookshop and gift store in San Marcos, but again the time and place weren’t right. At this time he unexpectedly received the opportunity to teach history and direct the Big Bend Memorial Museum (later the Museum of the Big Bend) at Sul Ross State Teachers College in Alpine. Except for the - academic year, Dobie remained at Sul Ross until his retirement and return to San Marcos in .For most of that time, however, he was affiliated with the library. From  until his death, he sold books by mail order from his San Marcos home. He served a term as county Democratic chairman and was for ten years a member of the county historical commission. He made notes for the mem- oirs he always intended to write, but never did. He also regaled many a novice reporter with tales of frontier life that he knew not only from a wealth of reading, but from personal and family Sloan Rare Books experience. Aside from various newspaper and magazine features, his publications include A History of San Marcos and Hays County () and Adventures in the Canyons, Mountains and Desert Country of the Big Bend of Texas and Mexico (), both privately printed. He died of colon cancer on April , . Al Lowman

About Cattle and Horses, and Men Who Live with Them Folks from other states and from other parts of the world sometimes tire of much of the ma- terials poured through the book factories dealing with the history of the Lone Star State. However, the reading world always has an appetite for good books devoted to horses, cattle, cowboys, and ranching in general. And a great majority of such books relate to Texas. It’s a fascinating subject, mostly because horses and cattle themselves are fascinating. True enough, too many people read the sorry “blood and thunder” stories dished out by the pulp writers, but even most of these readers appreciate a range book with the proper set- ting which is true to life. Old Charlie Siringo’s A Texas Cowboy; or, Fifteen Years on the Hurricane Deck of a Span- ish Pony () was one of the first authentic narratives about cowboys. A mint copy with its attractive pictorial cover and colored plates will make any range collector’s mouth water. Some copies had double plates, but they are as scarce as hen’s teeth. As time wore on, Siringo had further experiences to relate. He added them to his first creation and gave the book a new title. This went on and on. After all, each book is worthy of possession because Siringo had seen and heard a lot. The writings of Andy Adams, like those of Siringo, are always in demand. He used the novel form, but his material is authentic. Adams’s best book is his The Log of a Cowboy (). It is fine trail-driving reading for young or old. His other books are: The Outlet; A Texas Matchmaker: Cattle Brands; Reed Anthony Cowman; Wells Brothers; and The Ranch on the Beaver. Collectors prefer first editions of the Adams titles. Reprints may be obtained at all bookshops. James H. Cook’s Fifty Years on the Old Frontier () is good reading. Cook punched cat- tle across much of Texas and over the trails into other states. As his life drew to a close, he “collaborated” with Howard R. Driggs on Longhorn Cowboy. Perhaps Philip Ashton Rollins’s The Cowboy should have appeared at the top of this par- tial list of good books. Anyway, this work first appeared in ,with a Charlie Russell illus- tration. In  it was revised and enlarged, thus becoming superior to the earlier edition. It is a standard work. Catalogue Ten, Part Four, The Ranching Catalogue, A-C

Four foundation stones of the cattle industry of the Southwest are the following: Cox, James, The Cattle Industry of Texas and Adjacent Territory, ; Hunter, J. Marvin (compiler), The Trail Drivers of Texas,  (reprint); McCoy, Joseph G., Historic Sketches of the Cattle Trade of the West and Southwest, ; Prose and Poetry of the Live Stock Industry of the United States, . These four items are well packed with good meat. Unfortunately, the Cox and the Prose and Poetry are exceedingly scarce and cost a lot of money. The McCoy book was reprinted in ,but this edition is already out of print. However, it has been incorporated into the Southwest Series, published by Arthur H. Clark. Trail Drivers of Texas may still be obtained. A work deserving a niche on the standard shelf is Cattle by William MacLeod Raine and Will C. Barnes. This book appeared in , was reprinted several times, but is now out of print. Another possible foundation stone is Sam P. Ridings’s The Chisholm Trail, . Jack Potter had many experiences with cattle. He makes use of this in Cattle Trails of the Old West ( and ) and Lead Steer (). John Culley’s Cattle, Horses and Men () is pleasant reading and is strong enough to lean on. J. Frank Dobie published his A Vaquero of the Brush Country in .The reading public still demands it. And there is his On the Open Range (), written primarily for youngsters but charming to older readers. The Longhorns appeared in .This book has gone into a number of libraries. No doubt it is a landmark in the range field. It is unfortunate that Dr. E. E. Dale’s The Range Cattle Industry () and Cow Country () are out of print. They should be kept before us, and perhaps the University of Okla- homa Press will reprint them when paper becomes plentiful. J. Evetts Haley’s The XIT Ranch appeared in ,but “arguments” in court soon with- drew it from circulation. It is now on the scarce list. Haley’s Charles Goodnight, Cowman and Plainsman () is also out of print, but it is hoped that this work will be reprinted. E. S. Osgood’s The Day of the Cattleman () is another splendid book that is no longer plentiful. Frank Hastings’s A Ranchman’s Recollections () is assured a safe place on the range shelf. Jack Thorp’s Pardner of the Wind (), edited by Neil M. Clark, should be listed here. It is a fine range book. And so is Wyman’s Wild Horse of the West, which came out just a few months ago. J. Frank Dobie, Mody C. Boatright and Harry K. Ransom of the Texas Folklore Society edited Mustangs and Cowhorses (). This outstanding contribution is already out of print and should be restored to the current shelf. A range library would show a big gap if it did not house Ramon Adams’s Western Words (). It is a first-class range dictionary. In ,William R. Leigh published The Western Pony. His illustrations are striking. Unfortunately, the book is out of print. Another fine work illustrated by its author and also OP is Dan Muller’s Horses (). Mody C. Boatright’s Tall Tales from Texas Cow Camps () is one of our much-sought- after books. It should be reprinted. E. Douglas Branch’s The Cowboy and His Interpreters () is a standard work which is no longer in print. Ross Santee’s Men and Horses () is very pleasant reading. Santee’s Cowboy () has a wide appeal. Walter Prescott Webb’s The Great Plains () is a standard work, which is a “must”item. Its bibliography alone is a fine guide. Many choice books in the range herd remain unroped, but the pen is getting crowded. It’s time to get the iron hot. Dudley R. Dobie, Sr. Fred A. Rosenstock REMEMBERING FRED A. ROSENSTOCK

  A in ,Fred Rosenstock was brought as a boy to Rochester, New York, Bwhere his father was a tailor. He feasted on the holdings of the local tailors’ guild library, devouring books about the American West written in Yiddish. The West was frequently on his mind and in ,suffering from exhaustion and respiratory problems, he got on a train west. His employer in Washington, D.C., was paying for six months of R&R in California, but Fred lost his glasses on the train and got off in Denver to obtain another pair. He never got back on the train. “Buffalo Bill! Gold! Rocky Mountains!” went through his mind, he recalled years later. His entry into the book business came in fits and starts but eventually he and his store reached landmark status. In his  Americana catalogue he offered a “nice copy” of Joseph McCoy’s Historic Sketches of the Cattle Trade of the West and Southwest for .William French’s Some Recollections of a Western Ranchman in New Mexico was .. A.S. Mercer’s  Banditti of the Plains was offered in the  catalogue for .He described the contents, compared it to other books on the subject and finished with the Rosenstock touch: “Brought  in Thomas sale.” Evidently he lost interest in cataloguing and thereafter dealt on a personal basis in letters and in the store. As much as he enjoyed a sale, he liked buying books more. He traveled extensively, persistently tracking down even the faintest hint of a great collection. He bought entire libraries and let the chips fall where they might. “Good things,” he told me, “sell themselves.”At the age of eighty he agreed to sell his store inventory—seven semi-trailer loads—and was supposed to retire. But his young assistant Steve Good convinced him that he would enjoy the art business, in which he had dabbled for years. In the remodeled store, surrounded by Russells and Remingtons, Fred did. Even after he suffered a stroke in  he came to the store a few hours a day until shortly before his death in February, .Besides the vast Rosenstock inventory, even now being dis- persed, Fred’s Old West Publishing Co. published  books now considered Western classics including the reprint of Hiram Latham’s Trans-Missouri Stock Raising, edited by Jeff Dykes and designed by Carl Hertzog.

The historic store on Colfax Avenue in Denver was sold in the year , thirty-eight years after Fred Rosenstock bought it, and the books moved to  Broadway. Linda may be contacted at Linda M.

F R (-), spent more than half a century in the book trade and was a familiar figure among dealers and librarians throughout the West. The events, honors, and anec- dotes of Fred Rosenstock could fill volumes. We would like to add a few more stories and insights about the legendary bookman of Denver. First, let the man speak for himself. Following are selected quotes from Fred Rosenstock’s Small Miracles in My Life As a Book Hunter (N.p.: Alfred & Lawton Kennedy, ca. ).

It is not unnatural, nor should anyone be surprised that, in my  years of hunting for rare books, original historical manuscripts, diaries and ephemera, I am able to relate a few inci- dents that bordered on the miraculous. Some of these unusual happenings have been com- Sloan Rare Books

pletely accidental, or unexpected. Others, however, might more properly be considered as miracles, since they were almost direct answers or realizations of dreams, hopes, or intense desires in the ‘shall I ever find’ class. I have been fortunate, these many years, in retaining the health and vigor which have made it possible for me to constantly pursue my hunting and scouting pleasures—to go hundreds or thousands of miles on short notice or rumor— many times on what turned out to be wild goose chases or false alarms. However, in a way I feel that this ‘chase’ has kept me young. At this date I am ,but I still have much of the old energy and, truly, the only difference I notice in myself is, I can no longer put in  hours a day—I have had to cut it to .

A funny incident, as I look at it now, was when I tried to buy Judge Ben Lindsey’s house on Ogden Street, in Denver, after he had moved to California. That is, I was willing to buy the rather ungainly old house if I could also buy the Judge’s books that were housed there. What a library that was! Countless books with presentation inscriptions from famous authors— to the Judge!

Let no one suppose that I never sell any of these exceptional things. My vocation is to sell as well as to buy; and I have taken great delight in placing fine items where they are utilized and esteemed.

F are excerpts from Linda Lebsack’s obituary of Fred Rosenstock written for the Denver Post.

For years Fred had collected the works of Charles M. Russell, eventually sending the paint- ings, drawings, sculpture and ephemera to auction at Sotheby’s in New York in .He told the story of the sale and how little it had netted him so often that eight years later, on Fred’s th birthday, Mike Koury of the Old Army Press commissioned Dale Crawford to draw a cartoon of Russell with his arm around Fred. The caption was “Don’t fret none, Fred. You got a whole lot more for those pictures than I ever did.”It was true: Fred had recognized the greatness of Russell’s work during the s and thereafter spent as much of his hard-earned money as he could on his beloved Russells.

Although he worked with the Bancroft Library at Berkeley and the Yale and Princeton Li- braries, most of the choice lots over the years that weren’t sold or donated to BYU were sim- ilarly offered to the Western History Department at the Denver Public Library. Alys Freeze, who was head of the Western History Department for many years, told Bower (Fred’s biog- rapher),“Never had I entered his store but that some facet of history has become more vivid because of his knowledge of historical events. Each item is a part of his being. He is a gentle man with a slight old world courtesy.... A great void will exist when he is no longer in the book business.”

F,  Donald E. Bower’s able biography, Fred Rosenstock: A Legend in Books & Art. (Flagstaff:Northland Press, ):

From the introduction to Rosenstock’s  “Western Americana” catalog (introduction by L. J. Davidson—professor at University of Denver): “Had there never existed the collector’s passion, much of the source material for American History would have been permanently lost and many great libraries would lack their choicest possessions. The collector not only Catalogue Ten, Part Four, The Ranching Catalogue, A-C satisfies his own desire to possess rare and interesting works, he also builds up a legacy for those who, with increasing interest and in greater numbers, are turning to the study of our past as a means of enriching our present. This especially is true in regard to Western Amer- icana; for, as has often been noted, the frontier has been the most American thing about America, and the story of the Indian adds a unique element to American history and liter- ature.”(Bower, p. ).

J. Frank Dobie, while not a collector in the technical sense, put together, says J. E. Reynolds, a noted bookseller, “with loving care the greatest collection of books on the range livestock industry ever assembled by a private individual in this country.”Dobie bought books from the Rosenstocks for many years, usually writing a letter and attaching a list of the titles he was looking for. In  Fred arranged a lecture tour for Dobie that included the University of Colorado, the University of Denver, Colorado State University and Colorado State Col- lege at Greeley.... After Dobie returned to Texas he wrote an article for the San Antonio Light, in which he referred to Fred Rosenstock’s Bargain Book Store: “It is crammed with old books, some very rare.... A person can learn an enormous amount by looking through books that he does not actually read. I incline to judge the civilization of a city by its book- stores—or by their absence. A genuine bookstore is far more than a house of merchandise. As an asset of civilization, it is in the same category as public libraries” (Bower, pp. -).

Greene, The Fifty Best Books on Texas, p. :“John Houghton Allen...writes more like a nobleman than a rancher. The short stories (or pieces) in Southwest are subtly tinged with that air of privi- lege, of being birth-appointed to a role in history that may be tragic, but was necessary. That’s not the tone one expects to find in Texas ranch tales. His gentlemen ranchers (and their spoiled sons) are as devoted to horses as to wives.... The Mexican ranch hands and their folklore go back to Spanish times, and privilege comes naturally—an inheritance passed along by the Spanish ranch- ers who settled the kingdom of the Rio Grande in the eighteenth century to the dynastic Anglos who superseded them....

This unpublished thesis deals with the rustling and depredations that plagued the borderland ranches in the region between the Nueces River and Rio Grande following the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. The raids subsided momentarily during the Civil War, but intensified afterwards, as the number of ranches increased and cattle and horse stealing became more profitable. In response to increasing lawlessness in a wild region difficult to monitor, Colonel Mackenzie was sent to bring order to the region.

Anza was the first European to establish an overland route from Mexico through the Sonoran Desert to the Pacific coast of California, and he provided the foundation stock of cattle and horses for the vast herds which subsequently established the great ranchos of California. Anza, writing as Governor of New Mexico, gives an account of his expedition to the Moqui in .He reports on the Zuni:“The fail- ure [of crops] requires them to continue living at the ranches where they pasture their small stock, of which there is a reasonable abundance.” Regarding the Moqui, he compares their livestock as reported by Escalante in  (“ sheep and many cattle”) to what he found in  (“no more than five head [of horses] in all the pueblos, no cattle and about  sheep”). Anza blames this poor state of affairs on drought and Ute and Navajo warfare. .

During the  “Great Migration,” about a thousand pioneers congregated at Independence, Missouri, for the trek over the Oregon Trail. In addition to their hundreds of oxen for pulling wagons, they also had a large herd of cows and other loose stock. Because the stock impeded progress, the party divided into two parts. The wagons were organized into one train and moved ahead. The remaining pioneers herded the stock into Oregon in what they called “the cow column.”Jesse Applegate served as captain of this ambitious, early trail drive, bringing the animals all the way to the Willamette Valley. .

Applegate and the editors include a few references to his uncle’s A Day with the Cow Column,but we include the book in this catalogue primarily because of Porter’s account of her  overland trip to California with her husband and child, in which she docu- ments the demand for good cattle in California at the time. On the approach to Sacramento (near Folsom), the Porters stopped at a ranch to obtain hay for their well-kept cattle. The stock of over- landers was usually in pitiful shape by the time California was reached. To the surprise and delight of the Porters, the rancher offered to purchase all of their sleek, healthy stock and their outfit for the astounding sum of  plus a week’s board. Lavinia observes: “We could not in reason refuse such a satisfactory offer. It was a much larger sum than we had even hoped to get although we had been told that horned cattle were very high at that time in California.” .

In the chapter on “The Cow Kingdom” the author declares: “From time to time in man’s experience, economic opportunities fall into place like tumblers in a combination lock. This hap- pened to western cattle-raisers about .Cattle could be picked up in quantity in Texas for four or five dollars a head; they would sell in a place like Minnesota for forty. The animals could be driven long distances. North of Texas, in present Kansas and Nebraska, were open plains rich in grass, a place to fatten the herds. Reaching out to this giant pasture were two principal rail branches, the Union Pacific and what would later be called the Kansas Pacific. It did not take enterprising Americans long to visualize the possibilities and to act. Shortly the Indians watched clouds of dust rise over bands of what they termed the ‘pinto buffalo,’ as the cowboys hazed their stock toward the rail heads. Now, the braves told each other, the invasion was from the south, as well as the east.” .

Atondo acted in his capacity of secular authority, and Kino (father of the cattle industry in the Southwest) served as ecclesiastical authority. After two weeks of hard travel beginning December , , the party achieved the first European crossing of the Baja California peninsula. Their plan was to travel from San Bruno to Magdalena Bay, but the party went too far north. A second expedition was under- taken in January, but the party was not able to cross the rugged Sierra de Giganta and returned to San Bruno with a report that the land was not well suited for settlement.Although Kino petitioned Ranch A-C Main.qxd 10/16/02 10:44 AM Page 33

to continue the development of California, authorities ordered abandonment of California ( years later Salvatierra would finally open California to permanent settlement). We include this important diary because of Kino’s importance to the cattle industry and because the diary shows Kino’s methods of assessment of the land traversed for development of stockraising (document- ing water resources and pasturage), agriculture, and mining. .

They were published in  as The Land of Lit- tle Rain, her first book, which brought her sudden renown and survives yet as a Western classic.... Mary Austin’s chief accomplishment as an author remains her treatment of the arid regions of the West and their manifold life, including that of the Indian.

Watercolor on Rice Paper —El Gaucho Enlazando .[BACLE, Adrienne Macaire (after)]. Unsigned watercolor on rice paper depicting a gaucho on horseback tossing a lasso while coursing across the pampas in pursuit of a steer. Approximately . x . cm. Undated, but ca. -.Other than one tiny chip at upper right blank corner and two neat archival repairs on verso (no loss of image), exceptionally fine and fresh, with excel- lent detail. A wonderful exhibit item offering the possibility of expanding the concept of the American cowboy beyond the Marlboro Man.

Sloan Rare Books

Trages y costumbres de la Provincia de Buenos-Aires, the first lithographic book printed in Buenos Aires. Bacle and her husband, Cesár Hipólito Bacle, published their album between  and . The present watercolor represents a genre of travel and costume art made for travelers to Buenos Aires in the nineteenth century. Artists copied the images of Bacle, Vidal, and other artists, as found in nineteenth-century lithographed and engraved costume books. These images capturing the exotic flavor of the country and its people were sold to foreign travelers as souvenirs (the New York Public Library has an extensive collection of these paintings). Naturally, the quality of such copies varied, depending on the skill of the particular artist. This painting is an exceptionally fine example of this genre of travel art, exquisitely rendering extensive costume detail as well as interesting facial nuances. Already, the process of romanticizing the gaucho is in full force. The handsome, young gaucho with innocent face and wide eyes is perched comfortably on his wild-eyed black steed, who is flying through the pampas with long tail rippling in the breeze and red tongue extended. The skillful gaucho sits on his recado—a flat sad- dle with sheepskin that could be used as a bed at night. The gaucho’s right arm is raised high, twirling his braided lasso, which is flying in a wide circle above. He wears the striking garb of his trade: chiripá (baggy white trousers), tirador (tooled leather road belt), vincha (headband holding ared silk handkerchief fashioned into a turban over his hair and with feathers at back), short blue jacket with brass buttons, white open-throated shirt with decoration at bottom, red poncho draped over left arm, and ponderous silver spurs with his bare toes exposed next to the stirrup. The medium of watercolor on rice paper imparts a especially beautiful luminosity to this vivid image. Adrienne Pauline Macaire Bacle was born in Geneva, Switzerland, in  and emigrated to Argentina in  with her husband. They established the first lithographic shop in Buenos Aires. In  the Bacles began a series of lithographed costumes of Buenos Aires, eventually publishing six parts with six lithographs in each one (though seven parts were planned). Adrienne Bacle returned to Europe after her husband's death in ,where she continued painting as a minia- turist (see Thieme Becker, Künstler-Lexikon, and Benezit, Diccionaire). Rodolfo Trostine notes that very little of Adrienne Bacle’s work has survived and that he had seen only one original work by her (“Bacle,” Buenos Aires: Asociación de Anticúarios, ,p.). Garaño comments in his intro- duction to the reprint edition of Trages y costumbres: “This repertory deserves to be classified— without detriment—in the same class as the drawings by Vidal.” The Bacles’s lithograph album, Trages y costumbres de la Provincia de Buenos-Aires, is excep- tionally rare (no copies of the original listed in RLIN and only one copy and another incomplete copy in OCLC, no copy in British Museum). The lithographed album is so scarce that even the Museo Histórico Nacional in Buenos Aires had only  of the  lithographs when Alejo B. Gonza- lez Garaño wrote the exhibition catalogue, Exposición de las obras de Bacle (Buenos Aires: Amigos del Arte, ).

In  he took steps to acquire Baca Grant Float No. , consisting of , acres in the San Luis Valley in the border region between Colorado and New Mexico.

Some of the gunmen covered were rustlers, and many of the bloody events took place in the cattle country. The author asserts that many of these outlaws were young Southern men disillu- sioned by the rigors of Reconstruction. He states that as such they were “manufactured gun- fighters” who were drawn to crime through the “magnet of gold, cattle, loot, [and] the reckless life.” He discusses the fallout of these young hot-heads starting to go up the cattle trail: “The top year was ,when well over a half million were driven north by Texas cowboys. From  to , nearly six million head were trailed north from Texas. Soon, up there in Kansas, in the cattle towns, rail heads, the word ‘cowboy’ came to be known as nothing, the word was changed to ‘Texan.’ In the end the expression, ‘Texan,’ came to be known as any wild and wooly individual.... Later it got so bad over in Arizona that folks around there came to refer to any outlaw or badman as a ‘cowboy’.” .

Beadle describes Indian Territory as “a region half as large as Ohio [with] , inhabitants: a people rich in flocks and herds, enjoying themselves in a simple, pastoral way, content with their mode of life, and indifferent to the rush and struggle of more artificial societies.”In the Texas section, Beadle states that the sheep grazing potential in Llano, Mason, and Burnet Counties is the best in the country. . Ranch A-C Main.qxd 10/16/02 10:45 AM Page 60

Malone, Wyomingana, p. :“A history of Yellowstone National Park taken largely from papers in the Park library at Mammoth.” Smith S.In his chapter entitled “The Last Roundup,” the author explains how ranching fits into the history of Yellowstone: “Before Yellow- stone could become accessible as a national playground a certain evolution of security had to take place. Indian tribes and buffalo herds were hindrances to both colonization and travel. A double- action roundup was needed to clear the way for an ephemeral phase, known as cattle days on the open range, and ultimate colonization within the approaches of the Park.... The removal of Red Cloud, Crazy Horse, and Sitting Bull opened the way for new cattle commonwealths. By  the federal census reported , head in Montana and ,, in Wyoming. Soon the stockmen evolved a considerable network of mountain trails.”A later chapter discusses efforts to establish a buffalo ranch in Lamar Valley in . .

First edition. Wilcox, p. :“Mostly of adventures in Colorado, and en route, in June, ,as a member of the Ohio Editorial Association Excursion.” Journalist Bickham discusses the great opportunities for stockraising in Colorado, notes how ranches serve as way stations along the rail route, compares buffalo grass to bunch grass as forage for stock, tells of the throngs of cattle drovers in Denver streets, etc. Traveling toward Pike’s Peak, Bickham vividly describes a roundup: “The windows and platforms were crowded with spectators eager to see cattle on a thousand hills.... The glossy cattle browsing on the crests, and the rude but graceful horsemen carelessly gal- loping over the billows, in contrast with the absolutely still life of the Plains, formed a spirited pic- ture. Now we entered a station that seemed to be a general rendezvous for cow-boys.... A corral larger than usual occupied a slope. On a crest some distance onward, masses of cattle were con- centrated in uneasy motion. A score or more of vigilant horsemen were stationed at intervals around them like commanders ordering a column massing for a change in battle. Now and then one of them made a reckless dash into the apparently impenetrable herds, and not long afterwards an interval appeared between the mass and a small ‘bunch’ of cattle. Presently two or three other cow-boys dashed in and completed the separation of the ‘bunch’ from the herd. Occasionally a single fractious steer stampeded, and then a wild race ensued to drive him back to position. The scene was animated and exciting.... When there is sharp dispute there is a funeral.... The Mexican bucharos—cow boys—who formerly monopolized this business have retired before the Western American and are rarely seen among the herds on the Plains. But you will find them on Texas ranches.” .

[With the advent of the Gold Rush] their property became a thousandfold more valuable, and they had every chance to benefit by the new order of things; but men who had passed their lives in that sparsely populated and secluded part of the world, directing a few half-savage Indians in herding wild cattle, were not exactly calculated to foresee, or to speculate upon, the effects of an overwhelming influx of men so different in all respects from themselves.”Chapter  includes a spirited firsthand account of the method of California lassoing.

Winkler  (locating copies at the Library of Congress and the State Library of Pennsylvania). From the author’s preface:“Horse-dealers are frequently accused of deceiving pur- chasers in the age of horses; how every horse-dealer must be desirous of retaining and increasing his good reputation, and would therefore not deceive others in this respect unless he were himself deceived. The purpose of this book is, entirely to set aside this deception and to enable all, both sellers and buyers (even those who never before knew anything about the age of a horse) by a care- ful perusal of its contents, to discover for themselves with unerring accuracy the age of any horse.” Indianola imprints are rare. Indianola was tragically destroyed in two devastating hurricanes ( and ) and never rebuilt. Author Brandt and engraver Kaehrle are not in the Handbook of Texas Online.

As a college undergraduate he became smitten with the idea of raising cattle, but in referring to Will’s “Kuhlborne fever,” his father correctly foresaw that Will’s future fortune would not derive from the hard physical labor and harsh conditions of ranch life. Kuhlborne always remained a pleasant retreat from Evans’s life in transportation develop- ment, investment, and public works. . Ranch A-C Main.qxd 10/16/02 10:45 AM Page 103

Today nothing remains of the colony except the road passing the site, which is named “Old Shalam Colony Trail.”) Brooks and her party also visited the Mescalero Valley where her party lodged with a ranchman.

The Cherokee disapproved of “the white man’s buffalo” (the cow), even eschewing to waste shot and powder on them.“They liked to leave the cows stuck full of arrows in derision. The presence of Indians in the woods was often revealed by the nervousness of the cattle” (p. ).

Herd .Although little is known about the early origin of the cattle that later be- came known as the Aberdeen-Angus breed, it is thought that the improvement of the original stock found in Scotland began in the last half of the eighteenth century. Scotsman George Grant transported four Angus bulls from Scotland to the middle of the Kansas prairie in  as part of his dream to found a colony of wealthy, stock-raising Britishers in America. Grant died five years later, and many of the settlers at his Victoria, Kansas, colony later returned to their homeland. However, these four Angus bulls made an enduring impression on the U.S. cattle industry. When two of the George Grant bulls were exhibited in the fall of  at the Kansas City (Missouri) Live- stock Exposition, some considered them “freaks” because of their polled (naturally hornless) heads and solid black color (Shorthorns were then the dominant breed.) Grant, a forward thinker, crossed the bulls with native Texas longhorn cows and produced a large number of hornless black calves that wintered better and weighed more the next spring, the first demonstration of the breed’s value in their new homeland. This Aberdeen-Angus-longhorn hybrid resulted in further crosses that created some of the West’s favorite cattle. The author wrote only one other book, A Century of Aberdeenshire Agriculture (). .

With hundreds of Native Americans, Lassen built and worked his ranch, which became a headquarters for Anglo travelers (Thrapp II, pp. -).

C. Greene related some interesting book lore related to the photograph of Buckelew in this book. Greene Library: “After [Herman Lehmann’s] The Last Captive was offered by a Texas Book club, Bill [Wittliff] and I got a letter from an elderly woman who said: ‘That man on the cover of the book is not Herman Lehmann; it is Henry Buckelew. I know because I made that little Indian costume he is wearing.’ Bill quickly redesigned the book with a guaranteed picture of Hermann Lehmann on the jacket. However, Herman’s left foot was Henry Buckelew’s, because in the origi- nal photograph, Herman’s foot is obscured, so Bill just quickly adapted Henry’s.” .

Guns :“Highly fictitious, but Buffum’s reminiscences of early days in New Mexico, frontier hotels, the Deadwood Stage, etc. are highly entertaining, too. Scarce.” Fine press Western fiction with photogravures is a combination seldom encountered. Buffum (-), New Hampshire merchant and author, also wrote On Two Frontiers (). Eminent American printer and type historian Daniel Berkeley Updike at his Merrymount Press “achieved a reputa- tion for the extraordinary care taken over details; it was said that every sheet printed was exam- ined by one of the two partners before being delivered to the customer” (Glaister, Encyclopedia of the Book, p. ). Painter-etcher Wood (-) was born in Massachusetts and studied at Cowles Art School, the Art Students League of New York, and abroad. Subjects and elements of the stories include Idaho mining, gunfighters, Clay Allison, Soapy Smith, Bat Masterson, Wild Bill Hickok, “The Cook from Texas: An Experience of Frank R. Culbertson, Superintendent of the Tiger Mine,” Mother Jurgenson of the Black Hills (“The Queen of the Bull-Whackers”), etc. Sev- eral of the stories relate to cowboys and ranching, including “Annie” (set in California, relating a violent encounter between miners and a gang of unruly cattle rustlers) and “The Story of ‘Lost Charlie Kean’” about a faithful horse who leads a rancher’s lost son home. .

Over the next seven years he created , documentary pho- tographs, but most of these were destroyed in a devastating fire.Butcher resolutely recommenced his work, and with the help of rancher Ephraim S.

Butcher did a most worthy book; it is illustrated with his photographs, many of them re-enactments of moments of early life and history of the area, since Butcher did not reach Nebraska until , longer after many celebrated local events were history. Knowing this, however, does little to detract from his work.

There he pho- tographed everything that came before his lens—jackrabbits, longhorn cattle, rattlesnakes, pio- neer families, hired men, saddlehorses, mothers with babes in their arms, eating watermelons, log and sod buildings, cowboys, Indians, Indians’ villages and burial grounds, cattle rustlers and squaw men, pigs and piles of corn cobs.

It was republished annually for a time, with little or no change.” The emphasis of the book is San Francisco and the Gold Rush. However, the author discusses mis- sion cattle and the old ranchos of California (fandango, jueces del campo, branding, rodeo, corrals, lasso, saddles, expertise in horsemanship, management of cattle, etc.); mentions the hide and tal- low trade in association with San Diego; gives statistics on livestock (cattle, horses, sheep, and goats); and discusses grazing potential in general and the inferiority of the nearly wild native cat- tle. The lure of this once fairly common book (priced at . in the Howell catalogue) is in part due to the wonderful Colton map, which in the present copy is in about as fine condition as one might ever hope for. ,.

Rocq .Weber,The California Missions, p. n: “It is a monument to the efforts of Carrillo and his associates to save the Pious Fund for its original pur- poses.” Zamorano  #n. Carlos Antonio Carillo (-) was the son of a prominent Califor- nia family. His father, José Raimundo Carrillo, came to California with the Portolá expedition in  and served at Santa Barbara for twelve years. In  Carlos Antonio was granted one of the famous ranchos of California, the Sespe in Santa Clara Valley, which had been considered as a mis- sion site for Serra and Palóu. Carlos Antonio was serving as California diputado to Mexico in  when he delivered the present Esposición to the Mexican Congress. He objects to the proposed sec- ularization of the California missions and confiscation of the Pious Fund, which had helped underwrite the California missions that first developed ranching and large herds of cattle in Cal- ifornia. Carrillo expresses deep concern about secularization and its possible dire effects on prop- erty values and mission holdings, pointing out that the missions had contributed to civil settle- ment, conversion of Native Americans, and “the astonishing multiplication of herds of all classes.” Carrillo worries about the impact on Native American herdsmen who had abandoned their nomadic ways of life, as well as the presidial soldiers and families who had been usefully occupied with agriculture, stockraising, and industry. .

Written in  when Carroll (-) was  years old, this hitherto unpublished and beautifully printed memoir of his childhood is a lively account of pioneer life in Caldwell in Burleson County, where Carroll’s family arrived after traveling over- land in an emigrant train from Arkansas in .Carroll served as pastor in Lampasas during Reconstruction and notes that “at this time [Lampasas] was a frontier town and was under mar- tial law.” Carroll, historian and Baptist leader, was “a man of many talents [who] also enjoyed a reputation as an amateur ornithologist and owned one of the largest collections of bird eggs in Texas” (Handbook of Texas Online: James Milton Carroll). Carroll’s family was primarily involved in plantation-farming, but we include this book in this catalogue because of one incident related by him. After the Civil War, the size of the Carroll household diminished considerably and there was less help for chores (their  slaves had been freed). Carroll tells how as a thirteen-year-old boy he tried to keep up with the task of milking thirty cows twice a day while also attending school. However, after several months, he gave up and branded the calves and the poorest milkers. He then released the cattle on the abundant Carroll free range. .

Russell paintings). vo,original blue gilt-pictorial cloth (with illustration of a cowboy on a bucking horse), t.e.g. Slight foxing to lower fore-edge and endpapers, lower hinge cracked, .-cm tear to front free endpaper and following blank, overall a very good copy, in a bright binding. Previous owner’s ink signature on front free endpaper. First American edition, printed from the sheets of the British edition of ,with new prelim- inaries and without the three-page appendix at the end (pp. - in the British edition). There is such confusion regarding the collation in the bibliographical sources on this book that we had to compare a copy of the British edition with the present American edition to sort out the disorder and what it signifies. The American edition does not contain Carson's “Notes,” which the pub- lishers omitted, perhaps perceiving them as less than palatable to American readers. Carson’s “Notes” in the British edition were in three parts: () favorable commentary on Mormon polygamy (“Someday perhaps polygamy will have to be permitted”) and negative observations on how Japanese, Chinese, Native Americans, and Blacks are “swarming all over the earth”; () the inevitable antagonism between Americans and English, urging that Brits recognize that Ameri- cans are foreigners—not transplanted Englishmen; () diatribe against the present soldiery in the British Army, comparing them to the American militia and American vigilante types. Athearn, Westward the Briton, p. : “[Carson] went west for his health and took up ranching, ‘having no profession, and hating trade in any form.’ He gained experience with cattle since ‘the choice was limited and confined to live stock or crop farming of one kind or another.’ He was in Ranch A-C Main.qxd 10/16/02 10:46 AM Page 157

(Jack) Charlton (-), the noted Indian fighter known as the “Old Sergeant,”was closely involved in many of the military operations against Native Americans that al- lowed ranchers in Texas and the surrounding regions to carry on their activities without the threat of constant depredations. Charlton was involved in the operations during which the Comanche, through Quanah Parker and Mow-way, finally relinquished their tribal lands to federal authority— a moment in time when the balance of power shifted from Native Americans to the Anglo ranch- ers and settlers. Charlton joined Col. Ranald S. Mackenzie’s Fourth United States Cavalry in , participating in many pivotal campaigns, from the Blanco Canyon expedition to trailing rustlers and outlaws in Northwest Texas and Indian Territory (). After his discharge in ,Charlton began a freight service between Cheyenne and Deadwood, South Dakota, and he tells of meeting Wild Bill Hickok, Texas Jack, and Buffalo Bill Cody. Charlton prospected in Alaska and South America, accompanied the Cole Circus as a horse trainer to Hawaii and Australia, and worked in Mexico as a grader for the Mexican Central Railroad.

Unobserved by him, my curiosity led me too near our nice heifer Strawberry which was proudly guarding her first calf. She promptly tossed me so high and far that, if that portion of my anatomy on which I landed had not been so completely bundled in petticoats, I might not have survived to write this yarn.

That definitely settled it—a cowboy’s life was the life for me.” The author gives a splendid, enter- taining description of ranch life and how he gained respect by developing “the most uncanny skill with the lariat, beating everybody on our own and neighboring ranches.” After a brief stint at intercepting opium smugglers in Bombay, our hero’s cowboy adventures continued in Texas, Col- orado, Mexico, the Circle Dot Ranch, Utah, Wyoming, and New York (where he acted in the movies and worked as a stand-in for cowgirl actresses, wearing women’s clothing while filming dangerous stunt shots involving roping, riding, and shooting). That New York gig brought an end to the author’s escapades. A pretty Salvation Army lassie converted him and he became a minister, finally returning to England, marrying, and becoming a respectable man of the cloth. .

Researchers interested in the tribes, as well as the mission system, should con- sult this highly descriptive source.”When thinking of cattle drives and overland expeditions in the West, it is sometimes overlooked that some of the most remarkable examples of this type of trail- blazing occurred in the Spanish era. The purpose of the Alarcón expedition was to strengthen and extend Spanish presence in Texas, to re-supply the missions already established in East Texas, and to found new missions in the San Antonio-San Marcos area. The party, consisting of  persons (with  families), marched and rode overland with numerous tools and supplies and a large herd of domestic animals (numerous cattle,  droves of mules,  horses, sheep, and chickens). In May  at what is probably present San Marcos, the party sighted a black Castilian bull and realized that the animal tracks they had assumed to be bison were actually those of the cattle that Alonso de León had left during his first trip to Texas (). In September , after constructing the villa of Béxar (destined to become the most important town in Spanish Texas), Céliz records that Gov- ernor Alarcón presented the village with sixty head of cattle; in January , after building San Antonio de Valero, additional cattle, sheep, and other livestock were ordered to be supplied to the new mission. .

The author tells how the Gold Rush upset the balance of power in California, revolutionizing the old ranchos in a single season (pp. -,“The Bandits of California”):“There were few uses for the plains and rolling hills other than as pastures for wild cattle, slaughtered for hides and tallow, their carcasses left for the buz- zards. Idyllic conditions no longer held sway.... A few occasional days of toil at cattle round-ups no longer sufficed to provide a living, and many who had so existed were ready to turn to banditry as an easy alternative.... The term ‘Greaser,’ originally applied to the American and English buyers of hides and tallow, became an opprobrious designation for those of Spanish descent, native-born, Mexican, Chilean and Peruvian.” Chalfant includes information on post-Gold Rush outlaws, including Texan John Irving (his gang stole , in gold and  horses from a San Joaquin Val- ley rancho in ) and much on Joaquin Murieta (“the grand duke of bandit ignobility” whose chief business became stock rustling from ranches). .

“Out Where the West Begins”—Edition Limited to  Copies . CHAPMAN, Arthur. Out Where the West Begins and Other Small Songs of a Big Country. N.p., n.d.

Laid in is an undated one-page manuscript letter written and signed in pencil by J. Harry Carson, (managing editor of the Railroad Red Book Monthly), to George L. Beam, Passenger Department of the Den- ver & Rio Grande Railroad sending Beam this copy of Chapman’s book and stating that the book was printed in an edition of only  copies (“I have a couple of copies over printed—the edition was only .... I really have no right to send out these books, but it is more or less a family affair”). Carson’s letter is written on the printed stationery of the Railroad Red Book Monthly. First edition (the title poem “Out Where the West Begins” first appeared in print on December , , in “Center Shots,”the column that Chapman wrote for the Denver Republican); limited edi- tion ( copies printed, according to J. Harry Carson’s letter laid in the book—see previous para- graph).

Campbell, p. .Fourteen poems about cow- boys and the West by Arthur Chapman (-), poet-journalist, including his Western classic, “Out Where the West Begins.”Legend has it that with only ten minutes left before the deadline for submitting copy for his column, Chapman glanced at some wire news about the Western states governors bickering over where the West began—the Alleghenies, the Mississippi, or someplace else. Chapman solved his problem by dashing off “Out Where the West Begins.”He promptly for- got his jingle and was astounded at the warm national reception his little poem received. Chap- man began his newspaper career on the Chicago Daily News in  and joined the Denver Repub- lican three years later. In  he became managing editor of the Denver Times, and subsequently relocated to New York. Chapman was considered “a crack newspaperman,”but the magazine arti- cles and books he wrote brought him national recognition. He returned to Colorado several times to gather information on a Colorado history he planned to write. This slender wrapper-bound book is quite scarce. RLIN locates only a microfilm copy, without date on title (as in the present copy). OCLC gives six locations (unable to determine if the date  is on the title or not). The earliest date for Chapman’s book title Out Where the West Begins is Denver, .The poem was very popular. OCLC lists over a dozen printings with this poem named in the title.

Furthermore, there is a fine description and illustration (p.  et seq.) of the Pony Express saddle designed under the direction of W.A. Cates, Pony Express rider. Chapman discusses how the Pony Express saddle was a modified design of the regular stock sad- dle then in use in the West, noting that the “California tree” was lighter than the heavy model evolved from the vaquero saddle, which had been found most comfortable for man and horse in roundup work and day-to-day riding on the range. In chapter  (“Youth in the Saddle”), Chap- man maintains that the appeal of the West in the Pony Express era, unlike the Gold Rush with its mad quest for treasure, was adventure and the attraction of vocations like ranching, freighting, and staging as an escape from the humdrum life in the East and Midwest. “These young adven- turers of the trail supplied the Pony Express with some of its best riders. Among the half a dozen Overland ‘Pony’ riders whom I have chanced to know, every one, at some time in his story, has brought out the fact that he had drifted west in search of excitement. It was the same spirit that sent thousands of others to the west, later on, to seek jobs as cowboys” (pp. -). .

Cattle barons Richard King and Mifflin Kenedy of King Ranch fame helped finance construction of the railroad from Corpus Christi to Laredo. The railroad allowed them to get their cattle to market more efficiently, with the added benefit that much of the state bonus lands granted for completion of this railroad eventually ended up behind King’s fences. A delightful account of the extravaganza that King and Kenedy arranged for the first trip on the line. Among the lavish provisions were forty baskets of champagne (in addition to other liquor) and two thousand cigars. Robert Kleberg, who accompanied the party, commented in a letter to his sister: “Quite a number of our leading citizens and Pillars of the church were per- fectly exhausted with pleasure by the time they reached Laredo.” .

A special din- ner and event were organized at the King Ranch, complete with the excellent lectures printed in this book. Lowman quotes the printer of book, perfectionist Carl Hertzog:“No one will ever know what it takes to produce a book like this—and it’s frustrating to know that it is not what it ought to be when all the money needed was available, quite a paradox; wonderful story, wonderful peo- ple, a fine artist, a good writer, good historians, hardworking double checkers, but just too many people involved to make good—too much pressure.

First edition. Pioneer Heritage Series . Guns .Scotsman James Chisholm, a reporter for the Chicago Tribune, was more suited to reviewing drama and charity balls than frontier life in raw young Cheyenne. Yet, he has left us a vivid and literate record of Wyoming and the South Pass gold rush in .Chisholm arrived in Cheyenne only slightly ahead of a furious blizzard and just in time for a double lynching of a suspected murderer and the head of a gang of horse thieves. Between reporting on mining and vigilante violence, Chisholm describes Wyoming’s grass bonanza and the future prospects of the Wind River Valley for stockraising (chapter ,“Return to Wind River Val- ley”): “It is the finest stock raising country in God’s world” (p. ); “There are vast expanses of fine grazing ground on which thousands of herds could be raised” (p. ); “Nothing but the fear of Indians could prevent the settlement of all these valleys. There are no finer ranges of grazing land in all the West” (pp. -). Chisholm visited with area ranchers (the first permanent settlers) and describes their operations and difficulties with Native Americans and stock-stealing. .

Adams, One-Fifty :“This most interesting book assembled from Chisholm’s earlier writings...deals with most of the better-known outlaws of Arizona.”Guns :“Scarce.”Chisholm in- cludes the story of Cowboy Quinn, a young waddy who worked for Bill Greene, John Slaughter, the Erie Cattle Company, and other outfits. Once when Cowboy Quinn and his buckaroos had driven a large herd of cattle to the shipping pens at La Morita for inspection, he challenged the Mexican cus- toms officials, claiming that he and his cowboys could vanquish bulls better than any Mexican bull- fighters—and without the benefit of horses or weapons. A formal challenge was organized by Quinn and held at the cattle corrals at La Morita, with hundreds of gringos and Mexicans paying admission to see the event. Quinn and his cowboys proved themselves, and the bull became so badly scared that he broke down the corral fence to escape Quinn and his cowboys. The Mexicans, however, scorn- fully referred to Cowboy Quinn’s bullfight as lacking all technique. Chisholm devotes a chapter to daring gambler and copper king Bill Greene, who after succeeding in mining, established the Greene Cattle Company along the San Pedro Valley international boundary. Tom Mix and other famous cowboys punched cattle for Bill Greene and successfully kept rustlers in check. .

In  two suspected rustlers were found dead on the Lee County prairie, killed by the “death of the skins,” an old Spanish method of torture. Wrapped alive in green cowhides with the Olive brand, the men were left to die as the sun slowly caused the skins to contract.

Very readable and attractively designed.”In  the Count visited several California ranchos with the idea of real estate speculation. He arrived at the vast Cienaga del Gabilan rancho in the Salinas range and describes a rodeo that was being held: “After [a] meal fit for a cannibal, the Indians and more than a hundred other participants began horseback races and jousted with one another until nightfall.” Editor and translator Ernest Falbo suggests that Cipriani’s cattle drive was the earliest recorded drive to California. The count’s cattle drive was actually a business venture peripheral to the Count’s main goal of making a scientific survey in the West. The party, consisting of  hired hands,  cattle,  oxen,  horses,  mules, and over , pounds of cargo, left St. Louis in May of .The rigors of the trail made the Count’s scientific exploration impossible. On June , a great storm and whirlwind caused a stampede, with five days lost to retrieving their entire herd. On July  near the approach to the Platte River, an earthquake caused another stampede. At South Pass, the tired and disgusted Count entrusted the cattle drive his companion Herman Reinke, commenting: “I am leaving the company, tired of leading an ignoble life among beasts with the wretched aim of amassing a fortune.” .

Although the Spaniards were very severe in enforcing these laws, there were many times in which the Indians either secretly or through the help of others found the way or occasion to get on a horse. In the missions of the Southwest, especially in California, some of the padres were not only extraordinarily good teachers but also excellent horsemen. Due to the increasing size of their herds and the work that resulted, the padres diligently taught the neophytes the essentials of horsemanship. These early vaquero candidates experienced many hard spills before they qualified and, one might say, they really earned their spurs.” .

Chapter  contains material on the Cornelia Rancho and its female proprietor: “A California manor-house constructed of rough beams and surrounded by mud and cattle.... Cornelia was a native grandee, and claimed the right to  square miles of territory. Although the invasion of her country by the gold-seekers had swept away the greater part of her herds, yet there still remained over a thousand head. In full dress, adorned with gold chains, pearls and jewels, she looked very magnificent, seated in a large wagon drawn by two oxen and sixteen mules, roughing it over a country without roads.... Her home dress, however, was an old broad- brimmed straw hat, her son’s boots, a loose white shirt, and a short petticoat of coarse red flannel. She ruled over thirty Indian servants besides her son twenty-four years of age, and a homeless Por- tuguese adventurer.”The author claims that the theft of some of Marchioness Cornelia’s cattle was the precipitating event that led to the formation of the first Vigilance Committee in California.

His is one of the few authentic accounts of that year’s travel to the Rockies.”Wynar .Clark explains the use of the word “Ranche” as a road-ranch or supply and way station for travelers, rather than a stockraising establishment. The author describes Jack Morrow’s road ranche west of Cotton- wood Springs, calling it one of the best stations on the road, well-built and with a large “corralle.” Morrow was suspected of stealing travelers’ stock, and when Clark later returned by the same route, he learned that Morrow had been lynched by a party of emigrants who found their stolen stock in Morrow’s possession. Near Seneca, Kansas, Clark encountered a resilient sixty-year old widow rancher rounding up her stock. Among the first settlers (arriving in ), the widow used her  nest egg to establish her ranch, which she had increased to , acres in four years. At Cottonwood Springs, Clark remarks:“This country is infested with bands of thieves and robbers, whose sole busi- ness is to stampede and secure the emigrant’s stock. Along some portions of the route, constant vig- ilance has to be exercised.... These ruffians have their rendezvous amid the bluffs, where they secrete the stock taken, and undoubtedly they have their connection with various ranches.” .

He claims to have consulted “Seringo” extensively in compil- ing the present work and gives an account of John “Chizum.”Replete with information on ranch- ing in the region in the late s. Allison (-), gunfighter, cowboy, and rancher, was a heavy drinker and lunged though life embroiled in a series of brawls, shooting sprees, and other varieties of violence. He fought in the Confederate Army and moved to the Brazos River country in Texas after the war. Allison signed on as a cowhand with Oliver Loving and Charles Goodnight and probably was among the eighteen herders on the  drive that blazed the Goodnight-Loving Trail. In - Allison rode for M. L. Dalton and was trail boss for the partnership of G. Cole- man and Irvin W. Lacy. In  Allison drove a herd to the Coleman-Lacy Ranch in New Mexico for a payment of  cattle, with which he started his own ranch near Cimarron. In  he sold his New Mexico ranch and became a cattle broker in Hays City, Kansas. By  Allison had set- tled on Gageby Creek, near its junction with the Washita River, in Hemphill County, Texas, where he registered an ACE brand for his cattle. Marriage in  slowed him down a little from his reputation as the “Wolf of the Washita,” although he kept his legend alive by occasional antics.

As it is a fair specimen of the Spanish ranches in this section, I will give a short sketch of it. The ground in front of the house was strewn with the offal of cattle, on which scores of buzzards and crows were feeding in quiet security; and, as is commonly the case, the skulls and skeletons of animals, had been allowed to accumulate, making a perfect Golgotha.

Clayton, who became treasurer of Zion’s Cooperative Mercantile Institution and Recorder of Marks and Brands, here ably and fully documents the overland precipitated by the Mormon exodus from Nauvoo in .The Mor- mon’s main staging area at the Missouri River was south of Council Bluffs. Because there was not enough grass, wood, and water to support , to , people, , wagons, , cattle, immense flocks of sheep, and great numbers of horses and mules, some of the Mormons fanned out on both sides of the river to settle small communities, while others continued west. Corrals for the herds were constructed at Winter Quarters in Nebraska. Clayton documents that in April , an advance group of  pioneers began to move west with a year’s provisions and agricultural im- plements packed into  wagons and a large herd of cattle. These pioneers blazed a new route which became known as the Mormon Trail. The advance party arrived at the Great Basin on July , and it was agreed that this was indeed “The Place” (Clayton comments: “There appears to be a unanimous agreement in regard to the richness of the soil and there are good prospects of sus- taining and fattening stock with little trouble” p. ). Clayton continues his journal until October ,detailing establishment of the new Mormon headquarters, including identification of the exact spot for a temple, exploration of the region, and surveying and apportioning land for homes, agriculture, and stockraising. .

Twain devotes two chapters to Joseph Alfred “Jack” Slade, the notorious frontiersman who had no qualms about taking the law in his own hands, executing rustlers, crooked ranchers, and other outlaws in order to clean up the cattle country. Twain describes his encounter with Slade in Wyoming (pp. -):“In due time we rattled up to a stage-station, and sat down to breakfast with a half-savage, half-civilized company of armed and bearded mountaineers, ranchmen and station employees. The most gentlemanly-appearing, quiet and affable officer we had yet found along the road in the Overland Company’s service was the person who sat at the head of the table, at my elbow. Never youth stared and shivered as I did when I heard them call him SLADE! Here was romance, and I sitting face to face with it!—looking upon it—touching it—hobnobbing with it, as it were! Here, right by my side, was the actual ogre who, in fights and brawls and various ways, had taken the lives of twenty-six human beings,or all men lied about him! I suppose I was the proudest stripling that ever traveled to see strange lands and wonderful people. He was so friendly and so gentle-spoken that I warmed to him in spite of his awful history. It was hardly possible to realize that this pleasant person was the pitiless scourge of the outlaws, the raw-head-and-bloody- bones the nursing mothers of the mountains terrified their children with.” Ranch A-C Main.qxd 10/16/02 10:47 AM Page 190

In Nevada, Twain makes the unfortunate purchase of a horse (“a Genuine Mexican Plug”) after admiring and hoping to emulate the horsemanship of the Californians and Mexicans:“I had never seen such wild, free, magnificent horsemanship outside of a circus as these picturesquely-clad Mexicans, Californians and Mexicanized Americans displayed in Carson streets every day. How they rode! Leaning just gently forward out of the perpendicular, easy and nonchalant, with broad slouch-hat brim blown square up in front, and long riata swinging above the head, they swept through the town like the wind! The next minute they were only a sailing puff of dust on the far desert. If they trotted, they sat up gallantly and graceful, and seemed part of the horse.” Horse- manship also comes into play in Twain’s chapters on the Sandwich Islands. In “How Dick Hyde Lost His Ranch” Twain relates the story of a landslide in the Washoe District that slid Tom Mor- gan’s ranch right on top of Hyde’s ranch and the ensuing chaos (the ranch landslide is illustrated).

The work deals primarily with conflicts between Comanches and settlers in the mid-s in north central Texas. At that time the Old Stone Ranch was the westernmost ranch on the northern frontier. Other families temporarily occupied the structure, and in  the Barber Watkins Reynolds family and ranch crew moved there.

He comments on the herds he saw along the trail, including those owned by Fort Hall and other military establishments: “At one of the H[udson]. B[ay]. Cos Establishments I am informed that Thirty thousand sheep are kept and in fact a greate number of Sheep and cattle are kept at all Their Trading posts north of The colum- bia and more particularly on Peugetts Sound” (p. ). He urges the expansion of herds: “Consid- erable stocks of cattle might be kept on the vallies of Bear River and weebers river on the lower vallies near the greate salt Lake and a resting place might here be made that would verry much assist Emigrants and others passing to and from the states to all parts of the Pacific Country” (p. ). Several times he discusses the Hudson Bay Company monopoly of trade, including live- stock, commenting that now that the fur trade is dwindling HBC is expanding its cattle trade to the Sandwich Islands and other far-flung locations. Clyman documents a roundup in Oregon, describes a cooperative stockraising venture at Yam Hill, Oregon, and discusses Jesse Applegate’s ranch. Clyman’s - account of his travels in California is filled with documentation on many of the important old ranches, the rancho life style, and the prospects for development of stockrais- ing. Among the ranches visited and described are those of William Gordon (first Anglo settler in present Yolo County with a large ranch on Cache Creek); William Wolfskill (Rancho Río de los Putos in Solano and Yolo counties); Berryessa Family; George C. Yount (Napa Valley); General Byahos [Vallejo]; Robert Livermore (English sailor who jumped ship in California in  and married Josefa Higuera); Antonio María Suñol (Spaniard who deserted his ship in Monterey in , married into the Bernal family, and settled on their ranch in Alameda County), et al. Clyman describes the scene he found at the Suñol rancho: “Encamped at a ranche Belonging to a Mixican [Suñol] who with his Indian slaves ware Slaughtering cattle for the hides and tallow and a more filthy stinking place could not be easily immagined. The carcases of  or  cattle haled  rods from the slaughter ground and left to the vultures wolves and Bears” (p. ). Clyman provides vivid glimpses of the California rancho lifestyle. “The Mexicans do not labour themselves the native indians perform all the labour and are kept in slavery much like the Negroes of the South- ern states but not worked so steady or hard as all depend largely on their cattle stock for support and some fine Blankets are Here manufactured from the wool of their sheep The Mexican Ladies when they ride out alone mount a mans saddle in the same manner their husband would but fre- quently the husband takes his wife on before him and takes hold of the logerhead of his saddle with his arms around his bride and this method looks Quite loveing and kind and might be relished by the single” (p. ). .

owning their own ranches and farms in the West. Clyman realized his dream when in  he pur- chased a portion of the Vallejo ranch (“Pueblo de Salvador”) that he describes in the  Cali- fornia portion of the present work. Clyman commented in his original journal that despite the grand scale of the Vallejo ranch (, acres), only four or five hundred acres were under culti- vation. Clyman transformed his Napa property into a fruit and dairy ranch, leading an active and productive life there until he died in .“Fur trapper, explorer, soldier, and farmer, Clyman’s eventful life spanned the entire period of American expansion to the Pacific.... [Clyman’s] shrewd, wry observations, often ungrammatical and full of outrageous phonetic spellings are a delight.... Clyman was a true frontiersman and mountain man but with a difference.

It has been my aim in this little book of verse to tell of cowboy life as it actually was, twenty years ago, and as it may still be found to a limited degree in some parts of the West along the line between Texas and Northern Montana. My characters are taken from real life as I have myself seen it during many years spent on the range, in town, and in camp with the wildest of wild cowpunchers. Some of these old companions are now successful and highly esteemed business men; others are still fol- lowing their vocation on the now diminishing cattle-ranges; and others, too many, are gone for- ever from the ranges which they loved so well. I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to my old friend and fellow range-rider, Charles M. Russell, the well-known cowboy artist, for his drawings which illustrate so faithfully and vividly the life which we knew together.” ,.

This edition contains a tribute to Coburn by Russell that did not appear in previous issues, in which Russell writes: “Horseman of the plains, mighty hunter, ranchman, cowpuncher, scholar, wit, practician and poet, he rounds out his career as a Westerner by being the only White Chief of the Assinaboine Sioux, his tribal name being Peta-kooa-honga, which means Cowboy Chief.... For all his prowess as horseman and hunter, he is gifted of the tenderness of a woman, the generosity of a prince, and the soul of an artist. With him friendship is almost a religion, and for all the wild vicissitudes of his adventurous life, he has always clung to the ten- der influences of literature and art, of home and the humanity. We have been friends, he and I, for many years, friends as only men can be who love the same life, who have camped together like true comrades and who are aware of one another’s fidelity, loyalty and courage without the need of a spoken word. Wallace D. Coburn was born in Helena, Montana, of Scotch-Irish parentage in ; almost from childhood he spent his summer vacations on the round-up, and for years he lived neighbor to the Assinaboine Sioux of whose nation he is the titular chieftain.” .

Coburn wrote Horton and asked him how he might become a writer. Horton wrote back very specifically—that Coburn should read Roget’s Thesaurus, O. Henry, Jack London, and Joseph Conrad (but no other Western stories); live a story in his mind as he wrote it; never devise a plot beforehand; and never rewrite. Coburn took Horton’s advice to heart and went on to become one of the most prolific writers of pulp Western fiction, earning the sobriquet “The Cowboy Author.” Tuska & Piekarski (pp. -) estimate that Coburn wrote some , words during the s and s. .

.COCHRAN, John H. Dallas County: A Record of Its Pioneers and Progress, Being a Supplement to John Henry Brown’s History of Dallas County ().... Dallas: Arthur S. Mathis, Service Pub- lishing Co., [].  pp., frontispiece. vo,original maroon cloth. Very fine in very fine d.j. First edition. CBC .This book was written as supplement to John Henry Brown’s History of Dallas County. The author corrects errors in Brown’s work and supplies history to which Brown did not have access. Cochran mentions early stockraisers (William Kennedy, William Rowe, and others, including Alexander Cockrell, who was in the stock business before he became a city builder). He tells of the establishment of the first tannery in the county in the s by R. J. West, commenting that “the demand for leather was so great that Mr. West did not let the hides remain in the vats long enough to get thoroughly tanned. They were prematurely taken up and sold as leather, which when it got wet and dried became so hard, it was called rawhide” (p. ). (Dallas in its early years had a thriving trade in cattle and buffalo hides, and by the early s was the world center for that trade.) Cochran discusses the influx of a large number of moral, intelligent, indus- trious, and well-to-do settlers of English, Irish, and Scottish descent who came to Dallas as result of advertising by the Peters Colony and notes that these pioneers were skilled in farming and stockraising. Earlier settlers had brought inferior breeds from Missouri and other northern states. Cochran tells how the Dallas State Fairs contributed to better breeding of cattle, horses, sheep, and goats. He states that in  barbed wire was introduced to Dallas, causing a contagion of fence cutting and violence that led to the “Fence Cutting Legislature” in an extra session of the Eigh- teenth Legislature. He claims that a piece of prairie land near the Dallas-Denton road (about two miles south of Farmers Branch) was the site of the first fence cutting in Texas. The first marks and brands recorded in Dallas were on September , ,to John Neely Bryan, John Beeman, and John Young. .

In the last chapters Cody tells of embarking into the cattle business with Major Frank North, purchasing a ranch sixty-five miles north of North Platte in Nebraska, and buying, branding, and driving their first herd of cat- tle from Texas cattle drovers in Ogallala. He extols the horsemanship of the cowboys on the North Platte range (p. ): “In this cattle driving business is exhibited some most magnificent horse- manship, for the ‘cow-boys,’ as they are called, are invariably skillful and fearless horsemen—in fact only a most expert rider could be a cow-boy, as it requires the greatest dexterity and daring in the saddle to cut a wild steer out of the herd.”Ironically, Cody, who is generally conceded to be the Ranch A-C Main.qxd 10/16/02 10:47 AM Page 197

greatest of all romanticizers of the cowboy, describes his participation in a round-up on the North Platte in rather realistic terms: “As there is nothing but hard work on these round-ups, having to be in the saddle all day, and standing guard over the cattle at night, rain or shine, I could not pos- sibly find out where the fun came in, that North had promised me.” Many of the vivacious engravings are by artist True W.

The dedication leaf (pp. [iii]-[iv]) of the preceding copies has the short dedication to General Sheridan on recto and facsimile of Sheridan’s letter to Cody on verso. In the present copy, the dedication leaf has the short dedicatory statement on recto, and the verso is blank; next is an inserted leaf on thinner paper with facsimile of Sheridan’s letter to Cody on recto and “Opinions of the Press” on verso. Otherwise the two books appear to be identical. One can only speculate why this change was made, but Storm comments in the Graff Catalogue (): “According to a letter by A. D. Worthington of Hartford, to Richard I. Dodge, March , ,only three or four thousand of these books were sold.” The optimistic cataloguer might suggest that the inserted leaf with the glowing “Opinions of the Press” was a marketing ploy to attempt to lure more buyers. The pessimistic cataloguer would look askance at the present copy, wondering if it might be a cleverly made-up copy, the inserted leaf perhaps being a separately issue promotional piece put to “good” use. However, that does not explain why the verso of the dedication leaf in the present copy is blank, while the copy listed above has the facsimile of the Sheridan letter on the verso of the dedicatory leaf. The optimistic cataloguer would end by suggesting that despite the wretched condition of the present copy, an opportunity is offered for interesting bibliographical investigation. .

While relaxing at the local saloon one afternoon, he was dismayed to learn that the town had no festivities planned for the Fourth of July. Always the irrepressible showman, he quickly worked up a program to show off cowboy skills, offering prizes for bronco busting, shooting, and riding. He expected about a hundred cowboys, but over a thousand applied. Cody realized that with some added frills, he had the makings of a magnificent theatrical property exhibiting Western prowess. By the following year, Cody had organized his flamboyant Wild West Show that brought the romanticized cowboy to America and Europe and transformed the image of the cowboy from uncouth and rowdy to squeaky-clean national hero. .

Cole wished to locate land for himself, and on his first approach to the Umpqua Valley, he had the good luck to meet Jesse Applegate and stayed at the farm and ranch of Jesse’s brother, Charles Apple- gate. In  after making arrangements for Major James A. Lupton to buy cattle from immigrants on the plains, Cole had a narrow escape from an uprising of Native Americans in the region of Patrick’s Ranch and Cole’s Ranch. In the winter of  Cole’s cattle herd at White Salmon strayed when Native Americans chased away the hired man who was looking after the herd. Cole gives a harrowing account of trying to round up his cattle on Christmas Eve and herd them to the south side of the river. This incident is worth relating to show the courage and determination of these early Oregon pioneers. First, a Cayuse (east wind) blew in and plummeted the temperature to below freezing. Cole hauled in sand to make a trail to allow the herd to cross the slippery ice on the river. No sooner was the sand trail laid than a strong Chinook (west wind) blew in and melted the ice. Not to be defeated, when the river was clear enough of drifting ice to navigate, Cole towed in a flatboat by steamer. He managed to retrieve only twenty-six head before being swept into deep, swift water he could not ford. He was rescued by a man in a canoe, but not before almost freezing to death. .

It was brought out by Lymanhouse, an up-and-coming Los Angeles publisher whose rise was stopped by World War II. The owner told me, several years later, that he was just about ready to do a second printing of my grandmother’s book when the government made book publishers turn in their metal plates for scrap and the war effort.... The events in Wind Against Stone were fictional, but several occurred around her mother, Mary Catherine Craghead Longley, who, with her husband, Lytle Craghead, went out to West Texas in .” The protagonist is a young woman who comes to West Texas as a bride and strives to adapt to the desolate country and a hard-scrabble existence. She and her husband are homesteaders, and their struggle to survive is shown in sharp relief against that of their neighbors who are small ranchers. They visit a magnificent, isolated ranch near Phantom Hill, and the refined lady of the establishment describes her life: “I’m never lone- some. I ride the range with Albert a lot of the time. When I am home, there are usually two or three women, wives of cowboys, around.... We have picnics in the summer, cowboy balls in the winter and round-ups at branding time. Something interesting is going on all the time. I enjoy every day of my life.” .

Whaley, Wittliff :“The history of medical practice in Travis County, Texas, from the earliest days of settlement to .” Several references to a subject not often discussed in rela- tion to the cattle trade—health hazards arising from the trade. Many herds passed through Austin in the heyday of the trail drives, and there is reference to a complaint in  about the choking dust produced by a cattle herd moving down Congress Avenue. In  an ordinance was passed providing that no cattle other than milk cows should be permitted to graze on the streets of Austin. In  the bridge over the Colorado River collapsed when a herd of cattle belonging to Drs. Fields and Coleman of Manor attempted to cross it. A list of physicians of Austin and Travis county between  and  reveals that three of these physicians were also stockraisers (John A. Black, William C. McGown, and W. C. Philips). .

The tragic attempt by Dull Knife and three hundred Northern Cheyenne (two-thirds of whom were women and children) to return to their ancestral home in Montana in  rather than remain in the sterile dust-land of the Darlington Reservation in Indian Territory was one of the last attempts at armed resistance by the Plains Indians. Their party split in two parts north of Ogallala, Nebraska, and Dull Knife’s contingency was harassed, imprisoned, starved, and most of them were brutally massacred by the U.S. Third Cavalry. Although the title of the book infers that its subject is the Dull Knife Raid, Canadian-born Collins relates copious and excellent firsthand material on the cattle trade and ranching from the Dakota line to the Texas Panhandle: branding mavericks; the round-up; rustlers and vigilance committees; comparison of freighters’ and cowmen’s outfits; catching wild horses; Western ways and language; “Cowboy Acquaintances”; “The Character of the Cowboy”; the opening of Oklahoma; irrigation in the Texas Panhandle; etc. .

Collins’ journey west ended at Virginia City,Montana, in June of .He describes the activities of the Montana Vigilantes. Collins spent ten years (-) as Post Trader at Fort Laramie, a critical crossroads in the history of West- ward expansion as it was well situated on the path of least resistance across the rugged Rocky Mountains. He describes Native Americans (including Little Bat, the quarter-blood Sioux scout who became famous as a stockraiser); U.S. military operations against Native Americans; area ranches and ranchers; mining operations; freighting; hunting (including a sporting venture with Carl Schurz, Webb C. Hayes, and artist Gaullier); etc. Collins graphically explains the perils that beset ranchers: “Back in ‘’ the country around Fort Laramie fairly bristled with hostile Indians. Scarcely a week passed that ranchmen, herders, and wood choppers were not alarmed by small war parties raiding the stock herds” (p. ). .

He comments that President Roosevelt was so impressed with the cowgirl model of Collins saddle that he suggested it to the fashionable riding clubs in the southern states.“Among all the thousands of customers and cowmen whose names were on our books there were none more agreeable to us or more appreciated and valued than President Roosevelt. Should these pages ever reach his eye no doubt they will remind him of the jolly rough-and-tumble life of cow camps in the piping days when he followed the trail at Medora, Montana, on the little Missouri, of the longhorns from his ranch, when he was ‘one of the men’ of that country” (p. ). .

a military post in southwestern Colorado in order to protect the remote settlers from depredations by unfriendly Ute, Piute, Apache, and Navajo tribes who “on account of their remoteness from any military power, have hitherto committed such depredations as they chose, without fear of pun- ishment.”Cited are attacks on the Hayden surveying party and settlers: “The settlers in the valleys of the Animas, La Plata, and Mancos are living in constant fear of outrages upon their lives and property. Under these circumstances, the development of that section of country must, of neces- sity, be greatly retarded; and so long as the constant danger of Indian hostilities exists, its rich min- ing, pastoral, and agricultural resources must be almost untouched, instead of contributing largely to the material wealth of our country” (pp. -). .

Of other interest is A. H. deFrance’s impassioned plea for granting women the right to vote “however much men may ridicule the question, and however much they may seem in that way to avoid its decision and ignore its importance in the future political econ- omy of the country, the fact can no longer be disguised that the question of the right of women of America to a voice in the political affairs of the government under which we live, is the one great vital question of the day. Negro Suffrage has gone into the past, and no longer supplies food for political discussion. In its wake, and as one of its necessary corollaries, follows the question of Female Suffrage” (pp. -). .

Although Colorado is by no means a major oil state...its oil industry is the second oldest in the country....

Sloan Rare Books

First edition. Wynar .This rare and beautiful little promotional touts the Georgetown- Middle Park region of Colorado as an ideal location for a holiday, a lifetime, or profitable investment. Imaginatively entitled Among the Silver Seams, the anonymous author apparently possessed a silver tongue: “Variety in occupation is the only rest that an active, pushing man dare seek in these times of tremendous competition and marvelous industry. Even his holiday must contribute to the dominant spirit of the times.... He comes from the hot, dusty cities of the east- ern and middle states to find in the cool, dry, bracing air and clear sunlight of Colorado new life and strength, and in her mines, her ranches, her coal fields, her quarries, all the elements of sub- stantial fortune.”As for the author’s opinion on the prospects for stockraising in the region:“The hay and agricultural lands along the streams [of Middle Park] are rapidly preempted and the grazing lands support thousands of beef and cattle stock” (p. ). The charming engraved illus- trations include a bird’s-eye view of Georgetown, mining operations, Devil’s Gate,“On the Road to Berthoud Pass,” Mount of the Holy Cross, Gray’s Peak, Green Lake, and “A Rocky Mountain Nook” (angling scene). .

First edition of a bedrock book for Colorado history. Herd , :“Scarce.”Wilcox, p. . Wynar .This weighty, well-illustrated tome has a section on “Stock-raising in Colorado” and many pioneer cattlemen are found among the biographies (these biographies in themselves constitute a mug book within the larger history). From the chapter on stockraising: “Enough has already been said in this work to indicate that the pastoral resources of Colorado are second only to the industry of mining in point of profit if not of production. The net profit of stock- growing exceeds that of agriculture every year. Probably during the decade preceding the event- ful year when the mines of Leadville began to yield up their hidden treasures, the net profit of mining over and above the expense incurred in its prosecution, was not much greater than the net profit of the stock business. This is a startling statement.... The magnitude of business under the new development is something astonishing. Next to Texas, Colorado probably produces more beef than any other State in the Union, and probably, more sheep and wool than any other State except New Mexico. The business is not confined to any one section of the State, but extends everywhere, even into the Indian Reservation.... Few cattle ranches on a large scale are enlivened by the presence of the gentle sex.... The life of a cattle-herder is wild, roving, adven- turous. His headquarters, and his hindquarters, too, are always in the saddle, and he soon learns to ride like a Centaur. No finer sight of the kind can be seen anywhere, than a ‘cow-boy’ mounted on his fleet but sure-footed pony, giving chase to a young and lively Colorado steer, as full of dash and undaunted mettle as the man himself.... To the stranger in Colorado, nothing connected with the cattle business can be more interesting than a general round-up on the plains, where the cattle are abundant. It is not unusual to see , head gathered together in a compact but moving, animated mass—a forest of horns and heads, tossing up and down like the troubled waves of a sea.” (pp. -). Stockraising is but a slice of this meaty volume, which covers every aspect of Colorado’s history and its prospects. Special strengths are found in mining, Native Americans, railroads, and biography. The illustrations are outstanding, with charming Victorian views and many lithographed portraits taken from photographs (great exhibit potential). . Ranch A-C Main.qxd 10/16/02 10:47 AM Page 221

Wynar .This fat volume is another of the fine Baskin publications, presenting a dense history and mug book with outstanding iconography of Colorado. The publisher engages in some acceptable historical recycling, in that the first two sections on the history of Colorado and rail- roads as well as the section on “Stock-raising in Colorado” are identical to that found in History of Clear Creek (see item  herein). Additional ranching material is found in the volume, includ- ing a section on ranches in Fremont County and the livestock, cattlemen, horse owners, and roundups in Custer County. There is a fine lithograph of “Cattle ‘Round-Up’ of James C. Jones, Bent County Colo.”(following p. ) and a lithographed portrait of him (following p. ). James C. Jones grew up on the frontier of Texas, and he and his brothers commenced stockraising in Texas after the Civil War. In  the brothers drove , of their herd to Purgatoire Creek, and in  they made another trail drive to take their remaining cattle to Colorado. According to the author of this section, at the time of publication, Jones’ herd numbered more than , and his ranch had enlarged to , acres. Also discussed are Jones’ experiments with Texas longhorns crossed with short-horn cattle. Jones is not in the Handbook of Texas Online. In these Colorado regional histories published by Baskin, one often finds valuable information not available else- where on Texas ranchers and cowboys who moved or extended their operations into Colorado. ,.

Sidney Brown (embarked in the stock business in  in the Platte Valley and partnered with Iliff in the Iliff-Brown Cattle Company). Occasionally a woman is thrown in, such as Helen Hunt Jackson (includes portrait), Mary F.

Greeley, Haddam, Idaho Springs, Keysport, Kit Carson, Nevada, Pueblo, Trinidad, and Valmont. Directories are one of the primary historical sources for the intense study of local, social, cultural, and economic history. This one is particularly interesting because it was published almost at the end of the territorial phase—a time of rapid, dramatic change in the region. The editors comment on how the perception of Colorado being in the heart of the “Great American Desert” has changed: “But a single decade has passed, and lo, what a transformation! Where only the shaggy

Item  bison and the graceful antelope roamed unmolested and at will, now a hundred herds of domes- tic cattle low to each other, from hill-top to hill-top, and ruminate, at ease in peaceful valleys.... Colorado is, par excellence, a grazing and dairy country. Millions of cattle may, yearly, be fattened on the succulent and nutritious grasses that grow in her valleys and on her hill-sides.... Cattle sel- dom need any artificial feeding in winter, but live and grow fat.... There is no limit to the business of agriculture and stock-raising in Colorado. This is destined to become the dairy and granary of half the continent”(pp. -). There is hardly any subject on the region that is not discussed, and, of course, mining is uppermost. However, the section on agriculture includes brief mention of stockraising and an essay on “Mountain Ranches.” Additional information on ranching is found in the county histories and occasionally in the ads (e.g., Bull’s Head Corral and Stock Yard, Farm- ers’ & Drovers’ Head-Quarters in Denver). ,.

Iliff, the pio- neer cattle king of Colorado, who “at the time of his death, owned perhaps the best cattle ranche in the world, containing , acres of pasturage and some of the finest springs and grazing valleys.” Here he collected and prepared his cattle for the markets of Chicago, Philadelphia, and New York, and for filling his numerous and extensive Government contracts. His fast herds, roam- ing over the Great Plains from the grazing slopes of Montana to the prairies of Texas, numbered fully , head, of which he marketed an average of about , head per year” (pp. -). In addition, there is a fine lithographic portrait of Iliff and an engraving of his mansion in Den- ver. Another biography of special interest is that of pioneer photographer and artist, William H. Jackson (pp. -) and an engraved view of Jackson’s Photographic Art Rooms on Larimer Street (following p. ). .

Overall very good, with the images perfect except for the one flaw noted on the foldout view of Denver. These albums are difficult to find, especially in collector’s condition. First edition? Includes a view of the “Denver Union Stock Yards.”Illustrated albums of this type constitute an important visual record of American cities and scenes in the late nineteenth century. Other views in the album include public and private architecture, street views (e.g. “Broadway Drive”), industries, parks and recreation, and Fort Logan. This type of attractive souvenir album was common in the late nineteenth century. “They were all manufactured in Germany by what became known as the Glaser/Frey lithographic process.... The illustrations were done from pho- tographs, with the lithographers making some alterations by adding or deleting details.... Louis Glaser of Leipzig and Charles Frey of Frankfurt am Main used a multi-stone lithographic process to achieve a monochromatic effect that seems to have been rare if not unknown among American lithographers. Using five or more stones, they laid down a series of separate shades ranging from white to light sepia-grey to the darkest sepia-grey or black. The finished lithograph has a varnished look that creates greater illusion of depth than a simple lithograph or toned lithograph” (Tyler, Unpublished Typescript on Texas Lithographs of the Nineteenth Century).

Slight discoloration at edges of covers, otherwise very fine in original glassine d.j. First edition, limited edition (, copies). This previously unpublished account of Colt’s redesign of his famous revolver in  documents the creation of the pivotal weapon that helped “win the West” and which became the favorite firearm of the American cowboy in his heyday. Colt’s early revolvers had won the devotion of frontier Texans, and Texas Ranger Samuel H.Walker opened negotiations with Colt for the production of one thousand improved revolvers. Familiar with the shortcomings of the previous design, Walker outlined a substantial new design, which Colt followed. “The Colt revolver remained preeminent among such arms in Texas and through- out the West for the remainder of the nineteenth century. The  Single Action Army model, known as the Peacemaker or simply six-shooter, became the standard sidearm of the postwar mil- itary, the Texas Rangers, and the majority of cowboys across the plains.... Windmills, barbed wire fences, and Colt revolvers have been credited with settlement of the Great Plains. The Colt revolver and Texas remain inextricably associated in history, symbolism, and romance”(Handbook of Texas Online: Colt Revolvers). .

The bones of his hundred thousand head of cattle lay bleaching on the plains of , acres....

In ,when contracted to supply cattle to the troops stationed at Taos, Wootton lost to Ute rustlers , worth of fine beef steers being driven from Arkansas Valley to Taos. In chapter ,Uncle Dick recounts serving as scout on the Doniphan expedition which, with Kearney’s conquest, gave the U.S. its claim to New Mexico and Arizona. This expedition is con- sidered one of the most brilliant long marches ever made. Without quartermaster, paymaster, commissary, uniforms, tents, adequate provisions, or even military discipline, the force covered , miles by land and , by water, all in the course of twelve months. One of Uncle Dick’s tasks was to draw on the resources of the country to feed the men.“There were bands of wild cat- tle roaming over the hills and mesas...and whenever we wanted a supply of meat we ‘rounded’ up a lot of these cattle.... It was thought advisable to lasso, instead of shooting them, as some ammu- nition would be saved thereby. Lassoing wild cattle was a new business to most of the [soldiers], and they had some very amusing experiences.... At first the soldier always thought he had the steer, but before much time had elapsed he usually learned that the steer had him. Being able to lasso an animal of that kind is one thing, and knowing how to land him on his back, instead of being landed on your own back, and perhaps seriously hurt, is quite another.”(pp. -). .

He engaged in herding and ranching several times during his life (supplied beef to California Gold Rush mining camps; purchased a ranch in Monterey County in the s; and spent the last five years of his life ranching in Contra Costa County). The present work contains Conner’s biography of Walker and the first publication of Walker’s own well-written, insightful account of his  expe- dition to central Arizona. This expedition resulted in the capture of Mangas Colorados, perhaps the greatest Apache leader of record, and thereby opened the region to ranchers and settlers. Man- gas was known and feared for his devastating raids on Mexican ranches and theft of stock from the Arizona ranchers and miners who came later. Other ranching interest in this volume: witnessing Apache warriors rustling a herd of sheep from a Mexican, and their custom of taking the herder as a slave to continue care of the flock; visiting the old rock corral (subject of a later work fiction [see item  herein]); visiting ranches in the region; Apache rustling stock from a ranch on Granite Creek and the ensuing fierce battle. .

Guns .Howes C.Wilcox, p. .Wynar .McLoughlin, Wild & Woolly, pp. -: “This saga of murder, robbery, lynching, and shootouts...makes Garrett’s Authentic Life of Billy the Kid seem like a bedtime story for squeamish infants. This Rocky Mountain blood- hound managed to survive all his shooting scrapes, and he died in his home at Denver on April , .” The  edition of this book is genuinely rare, and it is a mere fluke (and the luck of the col- lector) that dear old Fred Rosenstock had a little stash of this Denver imprint in variant bindings. The present copy is the cream of the crop. Chapter ,“A Cowboy’s Sad Fate,”is about Johnny Pelt, “a cowboy,who used to make his headquarters at Alamosa, was a reckless a lad as ever punched cattle in Southern Colorado.” Chapters - deal with the  murder of ranchman George Bonacina and his sister Mrs. Belle Newton by Theodore Meyers. Chapter  relates the nefarious doings of horse thieves George B. Britt and William Hiligoss, who in  stole a herd of horses at McNassar’s corral in Denver. Chapter  “(A Townful of Thieves”) is about the rustling activities of the people of Carson, whose specialty was stealing entire cars of livestock from the Kansas Pacific Railroad Company during ;Cook arrested the entire male population of the town. In chapter  (“A Mexican Bandit”) Cook describes the crimes and capture of Candado Costello after he and his gang stole a fine cattle herd from wealthy Mexican cattleman Romero and murdered him at his ranch near Bernalillo in . ,.

It had been raining a great deal, and we had lost a lot of sleep. One night we had a terrible storm and were up all night. It rained all the next day, and we were with the cattle again all that night. The rain continued the fol- lowing day, and when night fell every old cowboy in the outfit—that is, those over thirty years of age—quit the herd and went to camp, where they lay down in the mud. They said they could not stand it any more and must have rest. The only ones who stayed with Mac Stewart (for he was with the cattle all the time, and would have fallen dead from his saddle before he would ever have let them get away from him) were three very young cowboys named Charley Dyer, Bert Helbert, and Addison Spaugh, and myself. I could scarcely keep myself awake at all, and would even go to sleep riding along, in spite of myself. At last I went to the wagon, got a piece of tobacco from the cook, and repeated my old trick of rubbing some of the spittle on my eyelids and into my eyes. By thus torturing myself I kept going. The cattle were so nearly worn out by this time that they could not run, but kept drifting about all night. In the morning the sun came out warm and bright, and the cattle, after grazing a while, all lay down to rest.... Stewart did not say a word to the men who had left the herd, but I could see very plainly that they would never again go over the trail with him.” .

Saunders .Tate,Indians of Texas .There was not room enough on the vast plains for buffalo, Native Americans, cattle, and farmers, and in the struggle for survival, the buffalo were the first to succumb. Frontiersman Cook (-) grew up in Kansas and Indiana and fought with the th Kansas Infantry in anti-guerilla service. He visited Texas, New Mexico, and other points in the West and lived in Dakota Territory and Eugene, Oregon, in later life. The fame of this candid southern plainsman (and the emphasis of the present book) is the destruction of the buffalo, which Cook graphically relates from a firsthand perspective. Ranching interest is interspersed throughout the book. Cook tells of his  trip to Texas (chapter ), where he became embroiled in a feud and stampede related to the Texas cattle fever trouble along the Indian Territory border. Chapter  on his sojourn in New Mexico includes the amusing story of an atheist and some cow- boys who were driving a herd of cattle to Taos from the Arkansas River. While engaged in a buffalo hunt on the Llano Estacado in Texas, Cook noted that in summer of  approximately , head of Texas cattle were herded across the North Fork of Red River; he observed several trail drives in progress (, head destined for the Wind River country and another , head to stock a range on the Cimarron in southwest Kansas). He comments: “We hunters were making it possible for this to be done” (chapter ). .

Second edition, edited by Milo Milton Quaife, with added introduction, notes, and index. Quaife comments in his introduction: “As long as we continue a meat-eating race, the calling of the butcher will remain an essential one.... Although the destruction of the buffalo was a neces- sary preliminary to the advance of civilization over his domain, the professional killers who per- formed the service have gathered no haloes; instead they have almost universally met with disap- proval and contempt. John R. Cook...was a commonplace man who by force of circumstances became a professional buffalo-killer. More than this, he regarded his work as a patriotic service.... For unadorned realism, the narrative he prepared has seldom, if ever been surpassed. Historically, it has two claims to importance; it presents the clearest first-hand recital ever written of the whole- sale destruction of earth’s grandest ruminant; and it supplies as good a defense of the work of the destroyers as can be made.” . Ranch A-C Main.qxd 10/16/02 10:48 AM Page 238

Cooke’s journal as commanding officer of the Mormon Battalion on its march from New Mexico to California in - first appeared in print as a government document (SED , ). The present version “follows Colonel Cooke’s manuscript journal more accurately” (Plains & Rockies IV:n). “The Battle of the Bulls” (a herd of wild cattle attacking the wagon train) was one of the more bizarre incidents in Cooke’s aston- ishing march with the Mormon Battalion across the Colorado Desert to San Diego to open a wagon road to California. While in the region of the “Ranches of Albuquerque” trying to purchase replacement livestock and rations in preparation for the rigors of the dreaded jornada de muerte, Cooke found that the entire male population had deserted one of the villages of the “Lunas” (great sheep holders) in order to pursue Navajos who had rustled , sheep; Cooke’s men recovered the herd and purchased a portion of it. The party rounded up wild cattle near the vast old Arizpe Ranch at San Bernardino (near the northern boundary of Sonora), which, according to Cooke, had lost some , head of cattle to Apache rustlers, as had other ranches in the region. After a perilous journey, the party arrived in California at Warner’s Ranch (good description of the ranch and Warner). Regarding the other two accounts in this volume: Whiting established the southern route (which would become so important for Texas cattle drovers supplying the California mar- ket); and after Aubry grew weary of his occupation as a Santa Fe trader, he made two journeys ( and ) to California to drive New Mexican sheep westward. .

First edition. “In  The New York Times declared ‘no man alive today writes better Westerns’” (Tuska & Piekarski, Encyclopedia of Frontier & Western Fiction, pp. -). Novel centered on French-Canadian Hautecoeur at his forted ranch in the valley of the Little Cimarron, New Mex- ico, “a tract of land, much as kings conferred.... Every morning the Mexican herders drove their bands of bleating sheep through the gateway to the plains below; and up the valley, well shut in by the high walls of the canyon, thousands of cattle grazed along the meandering stream. Such was the domain of the noble Frenchman.”The action opens with Comanche rustlers making off with the Utes’ prize herd of horses, but then the tables turn. A contemporary review of the book in the New York Herald Tribune stated: “A humdinger and no mistake, complete with Utes, Comanches, Kiowas and Apaches, two heroic trappers, a couple of nice girls....

First edition. Eberstadt :.The Kansas City physician-hunter’s quest for game includes an account of javalina hunting on the Callaghan Ranch, located between Laredo and San Anto- nio and made famous beyond Texas in the tales of O. Henry. Cordier gives a good description of the Callaghan Ranch, and a few details on the nearby Coleman Ranch, including: “Ford’s ranch is composed of one hundred and fifty thousand acres all under a four wired, barbed fence... [The Coleman Ranch] has under wire about nine hundred miles of fence enclosing five hundred thousand acres of Southwestern Texas grazing land.... Ford...is one of the pioneer cattle men of the Southwest. His stories of early hardships, Indian scares and cattle roundups are very interesting, and would make a most readable book.... Of all my hunting trips, this one to the Callahan (sic) and Coleman ranches was the most comfortable and enjoyable” (pp. -). Cordier regales the reader with other hunts, including the following in North America: Col- orado (deer and bear, ), Wyoming (elk, deer, bear, and mountain sheep on difficult mountain trails, ), New Brunswick (moose and caribou, ), British Columbia and Alaska (mountain sheep, goat, and bear, ), etc. Most interesting is Cordier’s trip to the No Man’s Land of south- west Kansas, where he hunted antelope and buffalo in .His party heard from some cowboys that a buffalo herd was in the vicinity, but despite their searches, initially they could not find the herd. After the author left, the remaining hunters eventually discovered the herd by a waterhole and surrounded it, killing all seventeen of the buffalo. Cordier expresses keen disappointment that he missed being part of “the last successful buffalo hunt of the whole Southwest.”He describes the kill as “ruthless slaughter” but goes on to say: “It only hastened the inevitable.... This same broad expanse of prairie at the present time has a farm on every quarter section of tillable land. The buffalo and the Indian, the original inhabitants, have been corralled and put on reservations or in side-shows, where the curious can see them at so much a ticket. After all, I presume that the white settlers with their vast fields of grain, millions of domesticated animals and little white school houses are making better use of the country and prove to be far better and more desirable citizens than the Indian and the buffalo” (pp. -). .

The author adds subsequent history and outlines features and scenic wonders of the Black Hills region. There is scattered ranching interest in the volume, including an account of the Maxwell Fight (). The Maxwell family was driving their cattle and belongings from Miles City to the proximity of the Stanley military road in order to establish and develop a large ranch. Their cattle were rustled by Sioux and Nez Perces, followed by an attempt to murder the Maxwells and their party. Maxwell and his four men quickly threw together an improvised fort and held off the war party during three days of intense onslaught. The war party left on noon of the third day because they were out of ammunition. .

torical records” (Samuels, Encyclopedia of Artists of the American West, p.  & plate ). This his- tory ranges from early exploration to the construction of the Union Pacific Railroad, which does not include the hey-day of ranching in Wyoming. However, there is much fugitive information on the earliest activities in the area relating to livestock and ranching. A chapter is devoted to Mor- mon pioneers, some of whom remained in Wyoming, becoming early stockraisers. Coutant documents some of the early ranches that were used by the military as headquarters or bivouacs during the many engagements with tribesmen and discusses the constant depredations of stock on the Bozeman Trail. As time passed and more Anglos came into Wyoming, the identity of the rustlers became somewhat murky: “It sometimes became a nice question to determine whether a robbery had been committed by Indians or white outlaws, as their methods in most cases were alike. During the month of September the beef herd at Fort Fred. Steele...was run off and while an effort was made to recapture them, not a hoof was recovered.” Among the pioneer biographies are stockraisers: Captain Henry E. Palmer, with information on his participation in the Grinnell Live Stock Company; W. P. Noble, a South Pass miner who after- ward was a prominent stockraiser in Fremont County; F. G. Burnett, who in addition to his own ranching activities served as “head farmer” on the Shoshone Reservation teaching agriculture and stockraising; John M. Hornecker, who turned to stockraising to supply mining camps; John Hunton, who arrived at Fort Laramie in ,clerked for the sutler, and in  established his own ranch on the Chugwater (“this ranch became one of the best of the territory”). Coutant interviewed many of the early pioneers and old mountain men and includes their recollections. .

Later ownership inscription of Agnes Wright Spring. Related newsclipping pasted to front endpaper. The  index is included with this copy. First edition. A first-rate copy regarding provenance, having been owned by two fine Wyoming historians: Agnes Wright Spring, noted librarian and historian of Colorado and Wyoming (in- ducted into the National Cowboy Hall of Fame and National Cowgirl Hall of Fame and recipient of many other honors); and Grace Raymond Hebard, Wyoming feminist writer, librarian, self- taught historian, and educator. The pasted-in newsclipping gives the difficult history of the publica- tion of the present work, the only published volume of Coutant’s projected three-volume history of Wyoming. The First National Bank of Laramie underwrote the cost of publication, and lost money on the project, making publication of subsequent volumes difficult. Grace Raymond Hebard pur- chased from Coutant’s widow the unpublished manuscript and research materials for Coutant’s sec- ond volume, used it for her own research, and later sold it to the Historical Department of the State of Wyoming. In  Coutant’s second volume began publication as Annals of Wyoming. Also included is the W.P.A. Index to History of Wyoming by C. G.

accompanied the Graham expedition from Monterrey, Mexico, to Los Angeles (-), and his penetrating insights, sharp tongue, and youthful exuberance provide quite a different perspective than that found in the official accounts. Couts mentions various ranches along the route, includ- ing Warner’s Ranch “San Jose is owned by one Warner, a white man, famed for his ability in telling lies, but not surpassed even in this by his notoriety as a rascal. He, Warner, stole my stallion as the horses passed. Luckily for him that it was not known to us until we had left him”(p. ). Couts pre- ferred the owner of the next ranch (Ojo Caliente),“a fine old Indian, Captain Antonio” (a North- ern Diegueño whose claim to his ranch Warner would subsequently preempt). Couts later became a rancher in San Diego County when he married Ysidora Bandini, who was given the square- league Rancho Guajome as a wedding present by her brother-in-law Abel Stearns. Couts made a very successful ranch from what had been a wasteland, with extensive herds of cattle, horses, sheep, and mules. As we see in the present work, Couts was already attuned to livestock, placing a high value on them and frequently, as a good cavalryman, expressing disgust at their mistreat- ment. (From  Couts frequently held the office of “judge of the plains,” regulating and over- seeing livestock matters). .

Irishman Craw- ford (-) came to the U.S. in  and fought in the Civil War. Crawford is thought to have arrived in the Black Hills shortly after the Custer Massacre. “He became chief of scouts for the Black Hills Rangers, an irregular organization. Crawford served as scout and messenger for Mer- ritt and Crook in the  Big Horn and Yellowstone expedition.... He seems always to have been fairly honest and reliable in [his] duties.... He established a ranch at San Marcial on the Rio Grande in New Mexico in  and made that his headquarters for most of the remainder of his life, although he had a home in Brooklyn. By the late s he had become well known as a composer and reciter of verses, winning the soubriquet of the ‘Poet Scout.’ His renown during his life was considerable. He was tall, thin, wore his hair and beard trimmed as did Buffalo Bill Cody. Craw- ford had a mixed reputation as a scout and ‘his verses, though popular in his day, can by no stretch of courtesy be called poetry’” (Thrapp I, pp. -). .

Scorer’s biography of Crawford, which includes a diatribe against some other Wild West shows: “When other scouts and would-be scouts sought to bolster up the questionable fame given them by the writers of fiction by posing as dashing Indian slayers and cut-throats in the area of the wild west show or on the stage in the vile blood- and-thunder border drama, Crawford quietly and modestly worked his way to the front in the higher field of literature and platform entertainment....

The present work mentions early sheepraising concerns as well as the very early ranching operation of Antonio Montoya, who received an encomienda in the region in the early s. This history, and the many following, were written by Stanley Francis Louis Crocchiola, a Catholic priest and teacher who used the pen name F. Stanley. Father Stanley wrote prolifically on all phases, aspects, and eras of New Mexico’s history, from Native Americans before the arrival of Coronado to the wild and woolly outlaw years of Billy the Kid, and on to modern rodeo. Thanks to Father Stanley and his lack of restraint in delving into historical minutiae, much fugitive local history of New Mexico has been preserved.“Father Stanley has produced a prodigious number of works on the Southwest, including a series of pamphlets on New Mexico towns....

Crosby’s wife Thelma writes of her life with Wild Horse Bob,“King of Cowboys” and National Rodeo All-Around Cowboy in the s and s. Thelma’s candid, loving memoir provides an unusual, seldom-heard voice from the world of rodeo—the distaff side.“The first time I ever saw Bob Crosby he almost drowned me, and I am sure there were times he wished he had. On many occasions I was almost angry enough to have killed him, but they never lasted long. In spite of these things, we had a very happy marriage” (p.  in the chapter “Roped and Tied”). “Six days a week I rode and worked cattle [on their New Mexico ranch]. And how I loved it! I loved that wild, free life.... I regret that the era of the big ranch is almost a thing of the past” (p. ). After Bob’s first big wins in the rodeo world, “I attempted to analyze the situ- ation and its effect upon our future. There were things I knew I must accept: Roberta [their daugh- ter] and I were no longer the first consideration in Bob’s life. That was hard. Having admitted to myself that these things were true, I must adjust to them. They meant that we were not to have a permanent home but become nomads” (p. ). .

Not understanding that the term “watchman” in railroad lingo meant watching to put water in the boiler, the cowboy built a big barricade of track ties alongside the cowcatcher, took his rifle in hand, and resolutely stood guard, keeping at bay the railroad rustlers (i.e., the rest of the crew). Included is an account of Dan’s youthful sojourn on the Wim- berly ranch of his uncle John Henry Saunders, who joined the Confederate Army at age thirteen, ranched and taught school at Wimberley, and was one of the first in Texas to import purebred angora goats. Dan attended school with a group of young cowboys:“Not that the cowboys had any abnormal desire for schooling, but the teacher was an attractive twenty-year old girl named Annie McLaughlin. The cowboys, lured by the sight of the pretty girl, came to classes in their chaps and spurs and lined up with the children in the spelling matches. As Dan stood in line with the tall cowboys, he felt as if his Deadwood Dick characters were coming to life” (pp. -). .

Captain Cunningham (Bancroft, Pioneer Register, p. ) was one of the enterprising Boston sea captains who in the s engaged in trading manufactured goods to the California missions, Russians, and others in exchange for tallow, horns, and cattle and seal hides. One stop was at “Bullock Hide Bay” which the editor suggests may have been Avalon Bay on the east side of Cata- lina Island. Captain Cunningham frequently mentions his California agent, W. G. Dana, noted early Santa Barbara trader and stockraiser (Bancroft, Pioneer Register, p. ). Typical log entry: “Unmoored—hove up and run up to Yerba Buena.... Employed trading hides and tallow and cash. We have received during the last  days about  hides, a large lot of tallow, and cash not enough to pay the dutys.

First U.S. edition (first published in England in ,translated into Spanish and published in Argentina in ). Edited by Robert Moorman Denhardt, who comments in his foreword: “In truth, it is a shame that more norteamericanos are not acquainted with Don Roberto’s works. South of the Río Grande his name is an open sesame as I found out to my delight. Josto Sáenz (hijo), to whose excellent translation of The Horses of the Conquest this volume owes much, is a case in point. If you say ‘Shakespeare,’a Latin-American may say ‘no comprende,’ but say ‘Don Roberto,’ and he will say ‘mi casa es suyo.’”Denhardt opens his tribute to Cunninghame Graham:“The Man Robert Bon- tine Cunninghame Graham of Gartmore, was a Gaucho, prospector, Scottish laird, revolutionary soldier, bronc rider, cattle rancher, buffalo hunter, historian, member of Parliament, store clerk, Indian fighter, speaker of Spanish, French, Arabic, Portuguese, English, Italian, and besides (as his good friend and admirer W. H. Hudson so aptly stated) a ‘singularisimo escritor inglés.’ Singular writer he was, whether writing of a Brazilian agnostic, a Scotch funeral, an Uruguayan caudillo, a Moorish skirmish, a Spanish grandee, a Texas Indian, or a Paraguayan harlot.” .

Libbie, herself an avid rider, was one army wife who insisted on not being left behind; she found nontraditional camp life invigorating. One of the engravings by Frederic Rem- ington shows Custer rescuing his wife from a speeding horse as she slips from her sidesaddle. She comments on Texans’ branding practices: “The horse-flesh of Texas was a delight to [General Custer]; but I could not be so interested in the fine points as to forget the disfiguring brands that were often upon the fore-shoulder, as well as the flank. They spoke volumes for the country where a man has to sear a thoroughbred with a hot iron, to ensure his keeping possession. Father Custer used to say,‘What sort of country is this, anyhow, when a man, in order to keep his property, has got to print the whole constitution of the United States on his horse?’” (p. ).

T O C T I’m up in the mornin’ afore daylight And afore I sleep the moon shines bright. No chaps and no slicker, and it’s pouring down rain, And I swear, by God, that I’ll never night-herd again. Oh,it’s bacon and beans most every day— I’d as soon be a-eatin’ prairie hay. I went to the boss to draw my roll, He had it figured out I was nine dollars in the hole. I’ll sell my horse and I’ll sell my saddle; You can go to hell with your longhorn cattle.
