BTB 35 says: "This is the hearty autobiography of a Texas trail driver, editor, doctor, preacher, and prohibitionist. J. Frank Dobie called it 'down right and concrete,' and said Cranfill 'was a lot of things besides a Baptist preacher, trail driver, fiddler, publisher, always an observer." Throughout, he sparkles with wit and honesty, relating his life in such a forthright manner that the most mundane events are infused with interest. His is the most revealing of all Texas preacher memoirs."

Covers lightly rubbed, else a near fine, bright, tight copy.
