Book description
Praise for KINGS OF TEXAS
"Kings of Texas is a fresh and very welcome history of the great
King Ranch. It's concise but thorough, crisply written, meticulous, and
very readable. It should find a wide audience."
-Larry McMurtry, author of Sin Killer and the Pulitzer Prize--winning
Lonesome Dove
"This book is about the King Ranch, but it is about much more than
that. A compelling chronicle of war, peace, love, betrayal, birth, and
death in the region where the Texas-Mexico border blurs in the haze of
the Wild Horse Desert, it is also an intriguing detective story with
links to the present-and a first-rate read."
-H. W. Brands, author of The Age of Gold and the bestselling Pulitzer
Prize finalist The First American DON GRAHAM
