Hagan in this brief, authoritative account that considers the role of ranching in general-and Goodnight in particular-in the development of the Texas Panhandle. The first major reassessment of his life in seventy years, \u003cem\u003eCharles Goodnight: Father of the Texas Panhandle\u003c\/em\u003e traces its subject's life from hardscrabble farmer to cattle baron, giving close attention to lesser-known aspects of his last thirty years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGoodnight came up in the days when much of Texas was free range and open to occupancy by any cattleman brave enough to stake a claim. Hagan shows how Goodnight learned the cattle business and became one of the most famous ranchers of the Southwest. Hagan also presents a clearer picture than ever before of Goodnight's business arrangements and investments, including the financial setbacks of his later life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs entertaining as it is informative, Hagan's account takes readers back to the Palo Duro Canyon and the Staked Plains to share insights into the cattleman's life-riding the range, fighting grass fires, driving cattle to the nearest railhead-the very stuff of cowboy legend and lore. This fascinating biography enriches our understanding of a Texas icon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 162\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 7.9 x 5.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 01, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47468614353149,"sku":"9780806141954","price":30.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/Uk1BYWFKdUtYaWl5ZGFuSldNZG91QT09.webp?v=1777290601","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/charles-goodnight-father-of-the-texas-panhandle-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
