Recenzii
“While profiles of ranching families appear elsewhere, none are quite like Roots and Resilience. These essays are written by the ranch families themselves, giving readers a unique and authentic perspective of today’s ranching environment. Their stories capture the book’s title impeccably—a culture that dates back hundreds of years in the New World yet thrives due to the resilience of these remarkable Americans.”

Extras
From the Introduction:
“I encourage you to breathe in these perspectives, some smooth and seasoned like a leather saddle, others young, sprouting leaves in the warmth of the spring sun. You won’t agree with everything—none of us will—and from that we will all learn something.”
