The author’s marriage to Charles Schreiner III would last only two years, but that time would place her on the legendary Y.O. Ranch during the centennial of its founding in 1880. Since the 1950s, the ranch began to stock exotic animals for hunting and breeding purposes year-round. “Told with candor and good humor, Schreiner’s memoir of her time on the ranch makes for entertaining and enlightening reading.” As new, unread copy in dust jacket.
