Description
Foreman and general cowboy guru Raymond Kuhlmann tells stories of the Goat King and German drinking songs, the buzzard traps and Mexican corridos that filled the middle of the night pastures. First-person accounts and vivid historical narratives evoke the ranch’s past, overlaid with Patterson’s breathless personal histories of afternoons spent rescuing a doe in a nightgown, or saving a porcupine from a pack of dogs.
This is a book in an effort to connect you to no matter what patch of earth you hold dear. It is poignant reminder of the landscapes we’ve forgotten to keep close, of the land that doesn’t belong to us but simply is who we are. The Ranch That Used to be Us is an affectionate reminder to go out of doors and touch the earth that may be you.
