If you are connected with Philmont, if you love western history, or if you are interested in Northeasten New Mexico, then this is a must-own book. It is in a coffetable type of format, so it makes a great book to set around and peruse whenever you have a few minutes to relax. As the title indicates, it is a brief history, so the text doesn't get nearly as detailed as Larry Murphy's book "Philmont: A History of New Mexico's Cimarron Country." Instead Zimmer and Walker's book is loaded with great photographs. If you are looking for a good historical review of Northeastern New Mexico, but don't want to get bored with details, I highly recommend this book.

This book is simple yet entertaining. I read it to my son
(3 1/2yrs) almost nightly, by his request. In addition to the writing in the book we use the colors and animals to count and work on matching skills. It is a very good book.

As with the first book by Stephen Calder, this book doesn't follow the TV series canon precisely, but it's still an engaging story that's hard to put down. I highly recommend it to Bonanza fans.

This is an excellent "tongue-in-cheek" factual account of ranch life, told in the style of Erma Bombeck. Ms. Petersens versions of events and the trials and tribulations of the American Ranch Wife are hysterically funny and guarenteed to cast a new light on the Farmers of America! Great gift or just a light, enjoyable read!

I like this book because it talks about how there are three girls that are waiting for Santa. I would buy this book because it's a nice and gentle book and how this man was friendly to these people I would say this book is for 4 year olds to 11 year olds.

You may not think you'll be interested in this rather formidable looking book with its straightforward title, but it is an inspiring story. What one impassioned but modest man (he gives others most of the credit) did to save from Californication one piece after another of one of the lovliest coastlines in the U.S.is a story to savor. Read it and cheer.

In 200 odd pages, the struggle between Tom and Sam was portrayed crisply

A very funny book. Presents the pain and hardship of daily cowboy life with humor and irony.

This book was really good. It made me cry at the end. I suggest you read it right away!!

The book is great. It really gives a feel of how the cowboys felt and thought in the old west. The songs tell stories of the life of cowboys and the good and bad times they encountered while riding the range, hearding the cattle or just enjoying the life of being a cowboy.
