This is the story of one cattle drive in 1889. It started in Matamoros,
Mexico and ended in Montana, possibly the longest cattel drive ever. J. Frank
Dobie has said the if all the cattle drive stories were destroyed, this one book

WILD
BEASTS AND THEIR WAYS: REMINISCENCES OF EUROPE, ASIA, AFRICA, AND AMERICA
By
Sir Samuel White Baker
Baker tells how to hunt big game with big guns and lots
of raw nerve. He hunted in the Africa and Asia when they were unknown. He is a
classic illustration of what Teddy Roosevelt called the vigorous man. The book
talks mainly about big game hunting techniques, but the history of the evolution
of the first rifles is extremely well done and fascinating. You will be taken

is to the left of the arrows. If you like Samuel Baker's writing style, he wrote
a good number of books about his explorations of Cylon, Africa, the USA, and other
nations. FIND
