Empire of the plains

One of the more interesting books on the 101 Ranch. Originally written at a time when many of the people involved with the 101 were still alive to give valuable first hand information. For the most part a very easy read and a revealing look at the building of the vast 110,000 acre empire. There are some areas where the story bogs down with financial figures and crop output etc. However it is an amazing story that even today seems unreal. The fact that such names as Tom Mix, Buck Jones, Buffalo Bill and many more were associated with the 101 Wild West Show makes for very interesting reading in addition to the many facets surrounding life at the "White House" and the three Miller brothers themselves.
