Description

This can be a history of early day ranching in Southwestern Texas. E.K. Fawcett, a seventeen year old orphan lad left his siblings when hired to assist in herding a flock of 3,000 sheep across early day Texas. They arrived at their destination on the Devil’s River at 12:00 middle of the night July 24th 1883. He met and courted the love of his life by horseback from twenty some ordinary miles away. This can be a story of love and devotion not only for every other and family, but the land as well. It tells of his accomplishments during his life as father, ranchman, Justice of the Peace, County Commissioner, Hide and Brand Inspector, in addition to president of more than a few county and state civic organizations. She used to be the rock steady force that kept it all in perspective at home, by raising six children, cooking, washing, doctoring, milking her cows, feeding her chickens, and just plain being Momma! This grandson felt this book will have to be written so others could know of their multitudes of accomplishments. It tells of the trials and tribulations, in addition to its rewards, for the hard work they put forth.
