you how much I like it. I spent a decade in the Argentine which
gave me understanding, appreciation, and affection for the Latin
Americans. You show Mier y Terin as the statesman that he was,
and you weave the robe of history as it ought to be, in my opinion-
that is, about the shoulders of a man of stature. As Dr. Barker implies
in that fitting introduction, it is a book to improve understanding
and mutual respect between the citizens of the two countries.
At the spring commencement Marietta College, in Ohio, con-
ferred a Litt.D. degree upon Dr. E. M. Coulter, now with the
department of history of the University of Georgia but remem-
bered by hundreds of Texas students for his several years of
service in the University of Texas. Dr. Coulter is co-editor with
Dr. Wendell Stephenson in the "History of the South" series

Wright's career has stretched from 1861 to the present and across
sixty-six Texas counties, although the principal scene of action
has been Carson County. Louise Orr rendered a service to Texas
history when she recorded the interview with Charlie Wright;
she merits special recognition for the faithful recording in the
vernacular. Wright concludes his story, "There's a whole lot
about cow work, day in and day out. If you don't understand it,
it's hard on the cattle, and hard on the boss, and hard on the
boys; yeah, and hard on the horses, too." Wright understood.235
