Overview
In the broiling heat of Texas, Richard King built an empire. Before he arrived in Texas, cattle, cattle ranching barely existed in the United States. Although it was a hostile land of sand and brush King saw an opportunity in the Lone Star State. With great skill and tireless determination, Captain King developed a thriving industry, bringing beef to the northern states and inventing modern ranching. Authors William R. Sanford and Carl R. Green explore the life of el Patron, "the Boss," from his humble beginnings to his creation of a cattle empire: the King Ranch.
