Letters to Alice: Birth of the Kleberg-King Ranch Dynasty (Volume 22) (Gulf Coast Books, sponsored by Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi)
In the summer of 1881, Robert Justus Kleberg rode across the hot, dusty South Texas brush country to the palatial home of Capt. Richard King to consult with the cattle baron about attending to his legal affairs. On that same journey, the young lawyer also first laid eyes on Alice King, “Princess of the Wild Horse Desert.” Neither of their lives would ever be the same.
