Dobie, J. Frank (James Frank), 1888-1964

"Guide to Life and Literature of the Southwest, with a Few Observations"


GREER, JAMES K. _Bois d'Arc to Barbed Wire_, Dallas, 1936.
Outstanding horse lore. OP.
HAGEDORN, HERMANN. _Roosevelt in the Bad Lands_, Boston, 1921.
A better book than Roosevelt's own _Ranch Life and the Hunting
Trail_. OP.
HALEY, J. EVETTS. _The XIT Ranch of Texas_, Chicago, 1929. As
county and town afford the basis for historical treatment of
many areas, ranches have afforded bases for various range
country histories. Of such this is tops. A lawsuit for libel
brought by one or more individuals mentioned in the book put a
stop to the selling of copies by the publishers and made it
very "rare." _Charles Goodnight, Cowman and Plainsman_,
Boston, 1936, reissued by University of Oklahoma Press,
Norman, 1949. Goodnight, powerful individual and extraordinary
observer, summed up in himself the whole life of range and
trail. Haley's book, packed with realities of incident and
character, paints him against a mighty background. _George W.
Littlefield, Texan_, University of Oklahoma Presss
Norman, Okla., 1943, is a lesser biography of a lesser man.
HAMILTON, W. H. _Autobiography of a Cowman_, in _South Dakota
Historical Collections_, XIX (1938), 475-637.
