Book Description
Excerpt from The Unvarnished West: Ranching as I Found It The notes from which this little book has been compiled were written in the first place only for the perusal of personal friends. By some of those kindly critics it was suggested that others outside that limited circle might be interested and amused by a record of experiences which fell to my lot while ranching in the Far West. Thus it comes to pass that I venture into print. Many of the incidents here set down have to do with hardships and bad weather. I hope that no reader will form an unfavourable opinion of Texas on that account. As a rule the climate of North-west Texas is one of the finest, brightest, and most exhilarating in the world. Hence it is with a sharp sense of contrast that one recalls the cruel pitiless "Northers" that occur several times almost every winter. When life goes smoothly under a smiling sun there is little to write about. It is the floods, blizzards, and storms that "make copy." I take this opportunity of acknowledging with thanks the courteous permission of the Editor of the "Wide World Magazine" to reprint an account of a stampede which appeared originally in that publication.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
As the railroads opened up the American West to settlers in the last half of the 19th Century, the Plains Indians made their final stand and cattle ranches spread from Texas to Montana. Eminent Western author Dee Brown here illuminates the struggle between these three groups as they fought for a place in this new landscape. The result is both a spirited national saga and an authoritative historical account of the drive for order in an uncharted wilderness, illustrated throughout with maps, photographs and ephemera from the period.
