Watt Matthews of Lambshead FROM THE PUBLISHER
Watt Matthews died in April at the age of 98. Except for four years at Princeton, he spent his entire life on his ranch, the historic Lambshead. Watt Matthews and Lambshead reflected the Texas of a century ago. Truly a legend in his own time, Watt was among the last of the great Texas cattlemen. He carried within him the history of a large part of the cattle industry from the time of the Civil War to the present day.
In a powerful photographic essay Laura Wilson has captured this historic ranch and the spirit of the irreplaceable man behind it. Watt is unlikely to be succeeded by anyone who can match his passion and shrewdness in holding this vast ranch together. He maintained a simplicity of life by daily contact with the people who worked his ranch.
