The story of the great Texas ranches is the story of rugged individuals who acquired extensive land holdings and developed successful cattle ranching operations modeled after the Spanish rancheros. These grand old ranches include the XIT Ranch in the Panhandle, the King and Kenedy ranches in south Texas, the Waggoner ranch in northern Texas and the JA ranch in Palo Duro Canyon. Mike Jackson will take the audience on a journey across Texas to explore some of these iconic institutions. This lecture was originally scheduled for August 2016.
