Other States were carved or born,Texas grew from hide and horn.There were problems to be solved before that became true. Where to sell the cattle which swarmed across the Texas ranges and how to get them to the market; also whether sufficient longhorns could be delivered at one time to make a long journey to a market profitable.Charles Goodnight thought he had the answers and aimed to prove it. Backed by Ole Devil Hardin's already legendary floating outfit, he set off with three thousand five hundred head of cattle for distant Fort Sumner. With Dusty Fog as his segundo, Goodnight meant to deliver his herd and so pave the way for Texas to grow from hide and horn.

Texas after the War was heaven for hellcats, paradise for lowlifes - and Hell on earth for honest ranchers. The range was rich with meat on the hoof, but the markets were hundreds of miles of rattlesnake-and-Comanche country away. Any man who tried to drive cattle across Texas was bound to wind up either rich or dead. Charlie Goodnight was aiming to try ... and with Dusty Fog as his segundo, it was going to take more than desert, Derringers or the Devil himself to stop him!

A New York Times Best Illustrated Book From highly acclaimed author Jenkins and Caldecott Medal–winning illustrator Blackall comes a fascinating picture book in which four families, in four different cities, over four centuries, make the same delicious dessert: blackberry fool. This richly detailed book ingeniously shows how food, technology, and even families have changed throughout American history. In 1710, a girl and her mother in Lyme, England, prepare a blackberry fool, picking wild blackberries and beating cream from their cow with a bundle of twigs. The same dessert is prepared by an enslaved girl and her mother in 1810 in Charleston, South Carolina; by a mother and daughter in 1910 in Boston; and finally by a boy and his father in present-day San Diego. Kids and parents alike will delight in discovering the differences in daily life over the course of four centuries. Includes a recipe for blackberry fool and notes from the author and illustrator about their research.
