Fascinating History, Excellent Info

Murder In Jackson Hole While I was researching the fourth in my Jackson Hole Mysteries series, which is about horse stealing in the 19th century and present-day quarter horse racing, I needed a back story. I decided to give a main character a family history that went back to the early King ranch and was lucky enough to find this book. It proved to be perfect for my designs but, more than that, gave me some very enjoyable hours reading it for its merits as both a history and a rousing tale of a man who got off a boat broke and built an empire. Buy it.

Extensive history of the King Ranch Quarter Horses. A must have for those interested in Quarter Horse history. I have read it a couple of times, and refer to it often.
Definitely a book for the Quarter Horse fan!

I found this book to be very interesting and informative, if a bit dry in areas. It was a wonderful insight to the people who help to shape the Quarter Horse world.
