Texans debate ranch labels and trail driver festival
A long Houston Post Dispatch Texas Talks column sparks local debate over ranch terminology and identity. The Roiland note discusses Pete and Johns Ranch misnaming, forbidding casual cowhand slang, and emphasis on proper attire and language. It covers plans for a trail drivers reunion with a monument fund, a North of 36 showing, a parade, and a barbecue, plus concerns about women participants and historic figures like Mrs. J. P. Lovelady and Mrs. Ami Hurk.
