Watt Matthews of Lambshead

This book is work of art and important historical document about Texas ranching history.

In words and especially Wilson’s beautiful images, Watt Matthews of Lambshead captures an iconically Texan way of life, one now only available to a number of residents of the Lone Star State due to industrial activities like oil extraction on rural landscapes.
