The Espuela Land and Cattle Company
The Texas plains country was opened to the advance of the first cattlemen, which included several large, foreign-owned enterprises. The author describes the geological conditions which made ranching possible, and the problems and ingenuity involved in acquiring a large body of land, business practices and techniques for caring for the animals and the land, and the personnel.
