About the Book The Farmer's Sons is a unique book filled with true stories of childhood experiences-events in the lives of the sons of a Texas farmer and cattleman. The boys were constant companions with their dad in the fields-at work and at play. The family survived the severe Texas drought of the 1950s and struggled to provide for themselves and their livestock during those trying times. This book tells the story of two boys hunting and fishing, working and playing and growing up together in an environment only found on a Texas farm.
