The fabulous XIT Ranch has been celebrated in song, story, and serious history. This book of reminiscences of old XIT cowmen puts on record the everyday life of the individuals who made the ranch run. Their forthright, yet picturesque, discussion of ranching hardships and dangers dissipates Hollywood and TV glamorizing. They relate in honest cowboy language what actually happened inside the XIT's 6,000 miles of fence.

Cordia Sloan Duke, wife of an XIT division manager, Robert L. Duke, many years ago realized that only those who had experienced ranch life could depict it with deep understanding. As the young wife of a rising young ranch hand, she kept in her apron pocket a notebook and pencil, recording all manner of interesting details as they caught her attention. This diary was the nucleus for the present book. Conceiving of an account of life on the XIT as presented by XIT cowboys, Mrs. Duke set about drawing from reticent, sometimes reluctant, ranch hands the impressions of the XIT (occasionally written down by their more literate wives or daughters) which they had retained through the years. Cordia Sloan Duke and Joe B. Frantz have organized the reminiscences around key aspects of ranch life, retaining the language of the cow hands.

Love these socks! They are absorptive, comfortable, supportive, attractive & great fitting!
Size: Medium, Color: White/Gray (6 Pairs)
These have been my go-to socks for almost 8 years now. I love that they are cotton, so they absorb sweat rather than give you that slimy feel you can get from polyester. They have great support in the mid foot and fit great due to the sizing. Just the right amount of padding and exhibiting an attractive low cut below the ankles. I highly recommend these socks. I hope this is helpful.

Fit like a glove… on your feet!
Size: Large, Color: White (6-pairs)
There socks! What else can I say?! Good fit! Good feel! Good quality! A little more on the thicker than thinner side, so if you want a really thin white ankle maybe go another direction.
