CATTLE BRANDS, Ironclad Signatures

by Jane Pattie

A brand is a cowman's ironclad signature, and when he burns it on a hide, there is no question to whom that animal belongs. since Cortes brought the first horses to this continent and ran cattle branded with his Three Crosses, billions of animals have carried millions of variations of these marks of ownership throughout Texas and the West.

For fifty years, Texan Leonard Stiles studied cattle brands as part of his business and for his enjoyment. He was hired by the Texas & Southwest Cattle Raisers Association in 1950 as a brand inspector and later for the historic King Ranch. When Stiles showed an interest in a rancher's brand, the man often told him its story and gave him an iron.

Leonard's trail took some curious turns. Stiles' story, as told in this book, is as colorful as those of his branding irons. His trail took him from cattle theft investigations in Texas and South Carolina to handling cattle and horses on sea voyages to Morocco and Spain and even a barge trip up the Mississippi River. Not only is Stiles' story told here, but so are the stories of the 1096 brands from his collection including drawings of each one. There are also a number of wonderful vintage photographs.

Leonard Stiles and his branding irons are a part of the history of the cattle industry, the King Ranch, and the American West.
