| 520 | |a "This is a short essay collection that, much like the author, wears many hats: it combines Kansas history, memoir, environmental history and conservation, and regional folklore. Jim's family has ranched in the Flint Hills since the 1870s and continues to do so to this day, both at Jim's Flying H Ranch and his son Josh's ranch in Chase County, the Flying W. The manuscript shares family stories and anecdotes about working ranch life alongside ruminations on the serene beauty of the Flint Hills, discussions of the ways that cattle ranching has changed over time, the history of the nearby town of Cassoday, the prairie's natural resources and efforts to preserve them, and tales of local legends and colorful characters (some of whom are also the author's relatives). In short, this book is a love letter to the Flint Hills, written by the person who knows them best"-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
