Amazing Story of an unreal Cattle King

This was one of the best books I have ever read. It is the True story about Ben Snipes. A young man that travels west from Iowa to the Dalles. He then begins in the cattle business, taking out loans at high interest to buy his first cattle, and also making a killing from the miners at sale. Throughtout the story he is a man who never carries a gun, and is know for his love of animals. He ends up having outrageous numbers of cattle and horses, said to be the best around.
