Cryin for Daylight: A Ranching Culture in the Texas Coastal Bend (Texas Coastal Bend Series)

Much of this is a unique history of the African American cowboys and their families from Victoria County and surrounding areas of South. The fascinating ranch photos covering 155 years and selected from 10 000 collected images by the families who founded and continue to operate these ranches make this a unique volume in the history of western ranching. The authors personal interviews with the cowboys are related in their own words with much biographical material and memoirs of those who knew them added. Increasingly more difficult to find in nice condition.
