Title: Postcard from the edge
Product review: Mr. Graham sub-titles his book 'the 150 year saga of a ranching empire' but his enthusiasm for the saga seems to have died with Captain King. The author devotes nine pages to Bob Kleberg's forty-odd year reign as the King Ranch dictator and scarcely mentions several other prominent and important figures in the ranch's history. Like Gone With the Wind without mentioning the Civil War. The author's research and writing on Capt. King's early years and the history of South Texas is very well done. Similarly, the treatment of the Chapman/King Ranch dispute is quite entertaining. Other than the current status of the Chapman lawsuit, the discussion of King Ranch in the present is nothing more than a brief postcard from the author's obviously quick and unfruitful trip to the edge of the King Ranch property line. If Mr. Graham had entitled the book 'Chapman v. King Ranch - a War With 125 Years Between Battles' I may have not been so disappointed.
