GILFILLAN, ARCHER B. _Sheep_, Boston, 1929. With humor and
grace, this sheepherder, who collected books on Samuel Pepys,
tells more about sheep dogs, sheep nature, and sheepherder
life than any other writer I know. OP.

1946. Biography of Zack Miller of the 101 Ranch and 101 Wild
West Show.
GOODWYN, FRANK. _Life on the King Ranch_, Crowell, New York,
1951. The author was reared on the King Ranch. He is
especially refreshing on the vaqueros, their techniques and
tales.
GRAY, FRANK S. _Pioneer Adventures_, 1948, and _Pioneering in
