Descriere

The Texas state constitution of 1876 set aside three million acres of public land in exchange for construction of the state's capitol in Austin. That land became the XIT Ranch. The story behind the legendary XIT Ranch, told in full in this book, is a tale of Gilded Age business and politics at the very foundation of the American cattle industry.
