Reid JacksonI'm a simple guy. There are only two things I love: my family and playing professional football.I may not understand why people get married, but I'd go anywhere for my brother, even his friend Camille's wedding. Once I'm there, I realize our Bronx upbringing has left me unprepared for the world of old Southern money. Over twenty-four hours, I see scandal, threats, and lies. It's a life I don't relate to, a place I never want to belong. Even so, when the minister asks if anyone objects, I shock not only myself but also the beautiful bride when I stand up and say, "I do." I don't know her, she doesn't know me-but deep down, I knew I had to make that move.Camille WhitleyAs a political socialite in the South, nothing about my life is simple. For years I've known I'd one day be standing at the altar, about to marry a man I don't love. In Savannah, family expectations and appearances are everything, but none of it's real. I hate what I've become, and I dream of being free. So, when an opportunity suddenly presents itself in the form of a stranger with captivating green eyes, I find myself asking what's best for me: the plan or the unknown? I don't know him, he doesn't know me-but if I'm going to make a move, it's now or never.
Ever since I could remember, it’s been me and my dad, and up until a couple months ago, you can say we’ve been . . . hiding out, far off, away from the rest of the world, living in secret. This life is the only life I know, and so, I live it to the fullest! Look, I know there’s more to life than what I get to see but what am I supposed to do? This is the life my dad created for us, the life I was born into, ya know. I’m not complaining, it’s just, I’m fourteen years old, I have no friends, and I have absolutely no idea why we’ve been living this way. All I know is that my dad is crazy! Wait, don’t get me wrong he’s a pretty cool dad and all, I mean, he really tries to understand. It’s just, he’s been ‘training’ me every day of my life, like, ever since the day I could walk. As a matter of fact, I’m pretty sure he coached me into walking earlier than I would have, given the chance at a normal childhood Lol. Yet the weird part is, if you asked me though, I have no regrets. I just couldn’t tell you what I was training for. Dad just says it’s important that I know this kind of stuff . . . Oh! And yeah, in case you were wondering, the idiot jumping through the window without any idea of how it he’s going to land . . , is me. You’re probably just as lost as I am right now. So let me save everyone a lot of confusion, and start from the beginning . . . well, sort of, well hm, let’s start at the acts leading up to my fourteenth birthday. Trust me, you didn’t miss much before then. Aight so boom, here we go. My name is Auraluke Rust, and this . . . this is the BrixCity Sagas.”

Folks all over West Texas and eastern New Mexico will tell you: Cowdens have been ranching here for as long as anyone can remember. The Cowdens, in fact, have been at the forefront of the cattle business for 150 years. Arriving in Texas in the 1850s, Cowden men and women raised and trailed cattle, sought out water and better grazing land, tangled with Comanches—and helped extend the western line of Anglo settlement as they raised their families. They eventually moved to New Mexico, where they established the renowned JAL Ranch. Award-winning writer Michael Pettit, a Cowden descendant and former rancher, offers a compelling portrait of this genuine American ranching family. Riding for the Brand spans six generations and two states to serve up a real slice of the Old West, complete with cowboys and Indians, cattle and buffalo, open range and barbed wire. Pettit skillfully blends family saga with an urbanite’s firsthand look at life on today’s 50,000-acre Cowden Ranch, where the one dependable factor is the constant wind. Riding for the Brand traces the evolution of the Texas and New Mexico cattle business from the era of intimate ranching communities to today’s oil-enriched or corporate operations. But it’s also the story of one man’s search for identity through his connections to a family, a place, and a way of life.
