Description: Bob and Helen Kleberg of King Ranch is a view from the center of the King Ranch legacy, perpetuated now for some 150 years. Bob and Helen Kleberg of King Ranch is a requisite addition to the library of any ranching, history, or Texana aficionado. Now the memoirs of Helen King Kleberg Alexander-Groves, the only child of Bob and Helen Kleberg, give a personal glimpse of life on the storied ranch of the Kings and the Klebergs. This intimate and compelling book chronicles not only the history of the ranch but also the life of Bob and Helen Kleberg, the first family of cattle ranching. Helen Groves came to the summer meet in Saratoga Springs New York to promote this book. With everyone dressed in their finery with HATS or grungy track clothes, she was the show wherever she went. Full decked out! Everything. Sterling silver belt buckle, swede skirt over magnificent cowboy boots and lots of jewelry. She was a marvelous story teller and very engaging. She could captivate an entire room. I was at several functions where other authors were pitching their work and every one of them just gave up. She was refreshing, amusing, and captivating. So is this book.
