A Ranching Saga tells the story of father and son pioneer ranchers in the Southwest. Around the turn of the century, William Electious Halsell and Ewing Halsell were integral to the growing ranching industry in Texas and Oklahoma. Through newspaper accounts, legal documents, personal correspondence, and interviews with family members, friends, and acquaintances, A Ranching Saga recounts the lives of these two keen businessmen, proud civic leaders, and philanthropists. What is revealed is a legacy of hard work, moral character, and compassion, as well as a close relationship with the land. Texas historian William Curry Holden sifts through correspondence, reports and statistics, and extensive research to tell of three generations of the Halsell family, from their arrival in Texas in 1854 to the mid-twentieth century. Holden enriches the family narrative with personal accounts of the places, geology, flora, fauna, weather, economics, and history of the region. He interviewed more than 150 people to understand the characters and personalities of the two men whose cultural influence on Texas and the Southwest region spans more than a century. Illustrated with nearly two dozen drawings by José Cisneros , A Ranching Saga is the biography of family whose destiny was realized in the cattle they nurtured, the land they loved, and the people they encouraged along the way.

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

A legendary era comes to vivid life in this saga of the beautiful, unforgiving American West, where the only thing more vital than hard work is the love of an unforgettable woman. “A sprawling, emotional love story.” —Publishers Weekly The Calder family patriarch is known throughout Montana as a force no one in his right mind would cross. But in New York Times bestselling author Janet Dailey’s latest novel, sometimes love can make even the most stubborn man do crazy things. Lost and left for dead after a violent stampede, a young cowboy battles his way to Montana and a fresh start among the cattlemen wresting vast empires from the wilderness. Joe is no saint, but he proves himself a hero many times over, giving his heart along the way to the fiercely independent midwife who saves his life, then bears his child out of wedlock. Sarah’s ambition is to train as a doctor, but harsh reality dictates a different life path. One that will test her strength and courage but end in the new life of her dreams . . . Dailey fearlessly explores the sheer grit of the women and men who settled the frontier, the characters, both strong and weak, who competed for a piece of the open range, and the fascinating, never more timely story of America's westward expansion.

For the first time under one cover, the first two books of the McNaughton Legacy; a heart-warming saga about a Texas ranching family that will run the gamut of your emotions. Straight from the heartland of Texas.In Book One, we meet the owner of The McNaughton, a big cattle ranch situated in Leon County, Texas. It has been in the family for over 150 years, first settled by Ben's Scottish ancestors and passed down to him with a lot of tradition and family loyalty included. The man is a widower and single parent of two sons and a daughter, with friends describing him as a man who holds to old-fashioned values, a hard worker, and a strict but loving parent. He doesn't have much time for anything except his family and the ranch, but when he meets pretty Dee Cortlin and her son, something is reawakened that he had thought was long since dead. But old habits die hard and change is not easy for him, especially since he still loves his wife with all his heart. Ben's kids have grown up learning the cowboy way of life from experts and know what it means to work hard and take responsibility. They're good kids but they "ain't" easy. Sparks begin to fly when Dee's son Gary meets Ben's daughter, Jenny. Jenny McNaughton is like his sister, right? So why is he having all these feelings toward her that could get him killed if her brothers knew what was going on in his head? Gary Cortlin lost his dad when he was ten years old. When he and his mother moved to Centerville, Texas, to live with his grandfather, the only thing that saved his sanity and truly his future well-being was his attachment to Ben McNaughton and his family. Book Two is a novella that chronicles a short period in the life of Ben's oldest son, Adam. Growing up on his family's working ranch in Leon County, Texas, young Adam McNaughton learned all about the cowboy way of life from experts but there were life lessons he had to figure out for himself through trial and error. For instance, who could he really trust? Would it be his dad who had raised him all by himself since Adam was small? His siblings? His best friend, Jimmy? Or would it be that gorgeous, blond girl who had just enrolled in his class at Centerville High School? The one he couldn't get off his mind.Adam loved his dad and had always respected and admired him, but just lately that didn't seem to be working for him anymore. He didn't understand exactly why that was, but it was a fact that was making life difficult for both him and his dad.And then there was football! Being a teenager and making sense of the world is never easy but sometimes it can be fun, if your team is trying to win the State Championship, and especially so if you have that pretty, blond girl on your arm while you're at it!Books in the McNaughton Legacy Series1.The McNaughton*2.Adam: A Novella*3.Guarding the Legacy4.Lost in the Shadows5.Cowboys, Bulls & Thorns6.Sweet Dreams*The McNaughton Legacy - Books One & Two
