A pretty straight forward and simple story of Henry Miller and the making of his cattle empire in California and Oregon. A little dry, but easy to read and full of California history from the middle to late 1800's.

This was a great book.I had to read this after discovering that Henry Miller was part owner of several ranches I have lived on. This man was amazing, what he achieved was nothing short of astounding. I learned a lot from this book and didn't consider it a dry read. This was a great book.I had to read this after discovering that Henry Miller was part owner of several ranches I have lived on.
