HOME RANCH

Home Ranch by Will James, orange cloth, illustrated by the Author, 1st edition with the Scribner's "A" on copyright page. Published by Charles Scribners Sons, New York, 1935. "A breath from the range." --The New York Herald Tribune John B. Mitchell started out with nothing but a saddle and a long rope--long enough to lasso someone else's cattle. He left Texas in a hurry with an "appropriated" herd and headed north to find a spread of his own. Half a century later he reigned over the Seven X Ranch, a "fair sized outfit" about sixty miles long and more than forty miles wide. With characteristic understatement and drawl, Will James tells the story of life on the Seven X--a story of hard work, tough humor, and longtime friendships. Join John B. and his family on the home ranch as they round up long horns, ride circle with the cowboys, and try in vain to keep tenderfoots from the city out of trouble.
