Dobie is quite the loquacious storyteller. Inventive, crafty, folksy - legends and history and interviews and experience all rolled loosely into a porch-sitting-n-telling style. Would have liked to seen the original Texas Longhorn Mavericks, as described behemoths of the river brush bottoms, but they last ranged in 1900. Based on some longhorns I've seen, I can only imagine how huge they once were.

Terrific & true lament:
"Superb as it may be, the mounting of animals in museums without representation of their voices leaves out something very characteristic and dramatic. Will nobody mount me a brindle bull and add to him the call of blood and the bellow of battle?"

"Like people, cattle are at their best when separated from the mob." Could not be better said today than it was in 1940.

Interesting history of the evolution of the Texan Longhorn. Also learning a cool word or two, such as 'avoirdupois,' scattered about.

Re-beginning this saga of the Old West, Texas, cowboys, cattlemen, and one of the icons of them all - The Longhorn.
