When Martin Baron first lays eyes on Texas, he vows to stay and build a life for himself in a land filled with hostile Indians, terrible floods, and vicious winds. After interbreeding English cattle with the native longhorns, Martin Baron and the willful people he comes to love strive to make it in a place that is as beautiful as it is cruel. If he succeeds, he may just create the greatest cattle empire of the New West.

This is a standard work on Americans claiming lineal descent from the Magna Charta Barons. The pedigrees referred to in the sub-title of the book pertain to the founders and members of the Order of Runnemede at the time the book was originally published (1898).

The market entrepreneurs, such as Hill, Vanderbilt, and Rockefeller, succeeded by p
