Bob Kleberg and the King Ranch: A Worldwide Sea of Grass

This is a first class up front and personal account by John Cypher who was closer than most people to Bob Kleberg.Having visited the King ranch a couple of times I had often wondered how the ranch became to so large and what drove a member of the family to expand so much.Only someone like Bob Kleberg could have achieved something like that, obviously a driven man.One has to wonder if it was worth all the effort and hassle involved? Mostly likely not for most people.Great read and an insight into ranching on a large scale in the US and abroad.John O'Mahony Kilmore TallowCo WaterfordIreland

Mr. Kleberg's wonderful accomplishments and his view of the world, particularly how to get quality beef available to areas never tried before . Great read.

Interesting account of the King Ranch under the direction of Bob Kleberg. John Cypher worked for Kleberg for a number of years and he provides a well-written and even-handed history of the times and an evaluation of the man who was Mr. King Ranch for a number of years. The book provides insight on Kleberg's goals and direction for the ranch and how Kleberg operated on the ranch as well as the east coast and internationally.

Good story about Bob Kleberg, the last of the great cattlemen!
