Synopsis
BUCK MACCONNELL'S STORY is filled with amusing anecdotes, little-known facts, real personalities, and genuine adventures. It is as authentically Western as Buck himself, who, at the tender age of thirteen, rode the boxcars west - not without encounters with treacherous tramps and surly brakemen - finally arriving in Colorado where he began to learn the ways of the West.
Three years later Buck signed on at the XIT, largest ranch under fence in the world. Covering over three million acres of land, the XIT was the giant of the cattle industry. It is here that MacConnell's recollections linger as he tells his story of cattle ranching, lusty people, and limitless horizons early in this century.
Void of glitter and Western stereotypes, XIT Buck is a picturesque review of one cowboy's perspective of the most transitional period that the ranch cattle industry has ever experienced. - Austin American-Statesman
