Seller's Description:
First edition. Very scarce in this condition! 426pp. Illustrated with 97 vintage photographs. Notes, appendix, bibliography and index. Gray-brown cloth, gilt. A very fine and bright copy with very fine pictorial dust jacket. Considered the definitive work on this controversial Texas cowman. "A well-written biography on one of cattle land's unique characters, revealing many things heretofore unrecorded" (Adams). Isom Prentice (Print) Olive (1840-1886) was a pioneer Texas cowman, his name a household word in the late 1870's and 1880's. "A tough cowman from Texas who got tougher in Nebraska" (Dobie). For ten years the Olives and other Texas cowmen fought the rustlers, matching themselves and their tough cowboys against such outlaws as John Ringo, Cal Nutt, Dave Fream, Neil Kane, George Gladden and others of that caliber. [Adams, Six-Guns: 420; Thrapp, Encyclopedia of Frontier Biography, p.1080].
