Captain William French arrived from Ireland in 1883 and managed the WS Ranch near Alma, New Mexico.
His memoir recounts the closing years of the wild frontier: Apache wars under Geronimo and Nana, the
Elfego Baca affair, cattle rustling, and the outlaws who worked for him — including Butch Cassidy
and the Wild Bunch, Joel Fowler, and Black Jack Ketchum. French's dry wit and sharp observation make
this one of the best personal accounts of western ranching.
