Clyde Burnett of Benjamin describes growing up in Henrietta Texas amid wild cow towns and long cattle drives. He joined the 6666 outfit as a teen, became a horse wrangler at 14, and rose to cowboy by 17 while delivering steers to Amarillo and beyond. He later ran leased land in Knox county and worked various ranches.
