The fabulous XIT Ranch has been celebrated in song, story and serious history. This book of reminiscences of old XIT cowmen puts on the record the everyday life of the individuals who made the ranch run. Their forthright, yet picturesque, discussion of ranching hardships and dangers dissipates Hollywood and TV glamorizing. They relate in honest cowboy language what actually happened inside the XIT's 6,000 miles of fence.
