A Texan's "Must Read" Book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: King Ranch Story: Truth and Myth (Paperback)
When you are from Texas, it is important to know the roots of your nation. Through the King Ranch Story, Mona Sizer has reached into a bag of mystery that surrounds the most famous ranch in the world, and portrayed a reality profile about the struggles and accomplishments of a tough group of friends and family during a tough era of life. The King Ranch Story reveals facts of tough times, tough characters, love, suspense, tragedy and victory; and this isn't even fiction! A tremendous amount of culture and economic growth has come from this south Texas ranch. It is required reading to understand the heritage of a significant and culturally diversified region.

The Story Behind the Legendary King Ranch,
By
This review is from: King Ranch Story: Truth and Myth (Paperback)
The King Ranch Story tells the love story of an ambitious young man and his dream of creating a great empire on Texas land. It's about the love between a man and woman, Captain Richard King and his wife Henrietta Chamberlain, the driving force behind King's success. It's a story of passion and power and success on a scale never seen before on this continent. King began his great enterprise with 15,500 acres of arid land called Rincon de Santa Gertrudis, purchased for $300 in 1853. From there it has grown to become an international legend. It was here that the great Santa Gertrudis cattle, and the indispensable western quarter horse were developed. The book also includes stories of ancient ghosts and hauntings that still imbue many of the secret places on the ranch with a sense of mystery and fear.
