A classic of ranch life in Wyoming. "[Clay] came to America in 1874, having known cattle, farmers, and literature from childhood. He became the outstanding representative of the British-owned cattle companies of the 1880's. His MY LIFE ON THE RANGE (privately printed,1924) is packed with facts on cattle, cattlemen, and ranches. I cite it here for its pictures of life and its sense of the beautiful" (J. Frank Dobie, COW PEOPLE).
The original owner, E.O. Wooton.,(1865-1945), was an American botanist, professor of chemistry and botany at New Mexico State College from 1890 to 1911, and assistant curator at the National Herbarium in 1910.
