Memories of the A Bar Ranch, told by the foreman's son, one of the last survivors of that era of West Texas ranching. The "A Bars" consisted of seven farms and eight pastures - approximately 23,000 acres. Life was simple and work was hard, but most who passed through remained life-long friends, recalling their A Bar experiences with amusement.

About the Author

Son of the A Bar Ranch foreman, the author recounts stories of real cowboys and ranch life from 1922-1940. The "A Bars" consisted of 23,000+/- acres. Wages on the A Bars varied from twenty five to thirty five dollars a month and occasionally a hitch-hiker might be hired for fifty cents a day. The usual quote was, "A dollar a day and your beans." Daily ranch life on the A Bars seemed to be fairly unaffected by the depression. There was still plenty to eat and enough money to buy the necessities. At the age of 90, the author may be one of only a few remaining survivors of that West Texas ranching era.
