Cattleman Leonard Stiles, during his career with the legendary King Ranch and as a field inspector in the special division of the Texas Rangers, collected more than one thousand branding irons. These clever, rustic, and artistic iron signatures appear as detailed drawings, with fascinating stories of how they were designed and why, the ranches and historic cattle drives with which they were associated, and how rustlers attempted to alter their appearance.

This review is from: Cattle Brands: Ironclad Signatures (Hardcover)
cowboys, history buffs and fans of the old west should all own this very special book. a beautiful book, it is full of history of brands and branding, as well as the cowboys alphabet. it was written in 1935, but still is the most complete i have come across! its a wonderful book.
