- Summary:
- "Leaving behind a potato-digging dirt farm, a good mother, 6 siblings and the memory of an abusive father, at the age of sixteen Thomas Henry Cherryhomes pointed his horse west toward Amarillo. Joining other cowpokes he rode the Chisholm Trail, where he learned the skill of driving a hard bargain and found his calling: He would become a cattle rancher. Enduring 'hell and high water' and more than a few nightmares, he made that dream come true. Pushing through the nineteenth into the twentieth century, his exploits left a story for the ages. Drawn from tattered hand-written letters, family lore and legend, this family history tells of a ranch still owned by his descendants one hundred years later"-- Provided by publisher.
