Lambshead Before Interwoven

By Frances Mayhugh Holden

Book Overview

"For more than a hundred years the vigorous Matthews and Reynolds clans have graced the land and enhanced the genteel traditions of western living. I know no writer who could hold the subject in more affectionate regard than the imaginative author of this book, Frances Holden. It is a beautiful book."--J. Evetts Haley. Along the Clear Fork of the Brazos in northwest Texas lies the Lambshead range--good water, protected valleys, and rich grasses, a cowman's dream. The story of the Reynolds and Matthews families, who made that dream a reality, has been beautifully chronicled in Sallie Reynolds Matthews's classic, Interwoven . Now, in Lambshead Before Interwoven , Frances Holden tells of earlier events in the area and recounts some fascinating episodes omitted from Interwoven . Based on a wealth of sources, including family documents and numerous interviews, Frances Holden's lively narrative adds an invaluable chapter to both the Lambshead story and Texas range history.
