Watt Matthews of Lambshead

Rating:
Summary: Fascinating photos and story about a 5'5" Texas giant
Review: I originally bought this book for my Grandmother, who grew up on a ranch in West Texas. I loved it so much that I bought one for myself.

Watt Matthews was one of the giants of Texas ranching. This book shows and tells part of his story. Unfortunately he is now dead, after a long life. He was a living contradiction: a man from a small Texas town, who graduated from Princeton, never married, was wealthy, and slept on a cot in his bunkhouse until shortly before his recent death.

McCullough and Wilson captured this story with wonderful pictures and beautiful prose.

Unfortunately, with Mr. Matthews' death, all of the old cowboys are now gone. This book is a treasure.
