Below The Escondido Rim

A History of the O2 Ranch in the Texas Big Bend

David W. Keller

Below the Escondido Rim details the evolution of a legendary 
Texas cattle ranch and the historic background in which it evolved. 
It is a story about dreams as big as the land itself, of hardship 
and success and failure, of long days in the saddle beneath a 
relentless sun, of booms and busts, boondoggles and burnouts, 
overextension and recoil. It is a story about trying to overcome 
adversity in an incredibly vast but difficult land.
