### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Quite Real
  

*by M***D on Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2012*

If you are looking for an authentic work on the Old West, the West that really existed, not the West fabricated by Hollywood, this work by J. Evetts Haley is sure to please.Charles Goodnight was a most remarkable man. He emigrated to Texas from Illinois at 9, was hunting with the Caddo Indians at 12, entered the cattle business at 20 and guided the Texas Rangers at 24. His 2,000 mile Goodnight-Loving cattle trail delivered Texas Longhorns through Comanche territory from West Texas to New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming long before the railroads or settlement. He established the JA ranch in the Texas Panhandle in the former Comanche stronghold of Palo Duro Canyon, dominating nearly 20 million acres of range, and would go on to be highly regarded for his breeding techniques. Under his management, the JA ranch would return 72% on invested capital for 10 years. He appears to have been a good, fair man but hell on rustlers.But his most significant contribution to Texas and the Nation was as a conservationist. Alarmed at the slaughter of the buffalo, in 1876 he preserved a herd on his ranch. Descendants of that herd still exist in West Texas as well as numerous zoos throughout the country. Importantly, it was from this herd that bison were reintroduced into Yellowstone National Park in 1902.This is a fine biography about a man whose life spanned the settlement of Texas. It took Mr. Haley 10 years to compile the detailed history, stories and yarns contained in this book. It was time very well spent. Haley will make you laugh and tug on your emotions but mostly it will amaze you that a no nonsense, iron willed man like Charles Goodnight could come from such a humble, frontier existence to accomplish so much good for his State and Nation.

    Vivid Writing and insightful history
  

*by C***. on Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2022*

Charles Goodnight is the genuine article. A giant of the Old West, and J Evetts Haley brings him, the times, and the hardships of a cattleman’s existence during those times to life!The prose used is unlike any modern depiction, and clearly captures the characters, vistas, flora, fauna, and historical importance, vividly.Thanks to my Uncle Tom (a giant to me and a cow man himself) for the recommendation.Chris
