Fountain Goodlet Oxsheer--like "Slaughter" or "Goodnight"--was an unusual and appealing name for one of Texas' most dynamic cattle ranchers. Once the baron of an intricate network of ranches that stretched from Oklahoma and the Texas Staked Plains down to northern Mexico, Oxsheer prospered, endured, and sought to run his empire and live by his own code of ethics. But the great ranching era ended, and twentieth-century phenomena such as world war and materialistic lifestyles joined the Dust Bowl tempest to obscure his renown and obliterate his fortune.White, Benton R. is the author of 'Forgotten Cattle King' with ISBN 9780890969984 and ISBN 0890969981.
