ALIVE. TO BEGIN WITH . . . It might be well to state at the outset
that my aim is not to write a book that will add one more volume to
the world 9 s col lection of natural histories or the existing
treatises on the habits of wild animals. Whatever I have to say
about the peculiarities of different species is incidental to my
adventures in the field of collecting. For eighteen exciting years
I have been gathering live animals, reptiles and birds for the
zoos, the circuses and the dealers. I have brought back to America
thousands of specimens, A great many of these were collected for
the New York Zoological Park, the Philadelphia Zoological Garden,
the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, the St. Louis Zoological Gardens,
the Dallas Zoo, the San Diego Zoological Park, the Milwaukee Zoo
and the smaller zoos located in Memphis, Kansas City, San Antonio,
Minneapolis and other cities. Many others were absorbed by the
Ringling Bros.-Barnum & Bailey Circus, the Al G. Barnes
WildAnimal Show, the Sells-Floto Circus, the Christy Brothers drew,
the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus and other similar organizations. A
good percentage of these specimens were sold direct to the zoo
authorities and circus owners, the rest through dealers. I have had
more than my share of thrills, including narrow escapes. Yet I am
frank to say that these close calls do not represent a love of
looking Death in the eye. I am not that kind of adventurer. I take
no unnecessary risks. When a man oper ates on as big a scale as I
do he doesn't have to look for trouble. No matter how careful one
is, something is bound to go wrong when live animals and reptiles
are handled wholesale. It is then that experience counts. When I
listed all the specimens with which I've returned to America since
I started bringing' em back alive I found myself wondering that I
hadn't had more anxious moments. There were plenty, as I have
indicated, but on the whole I consider my 4 self lucky. So many
live creatures, if they had tried real hard, could have made much
more trouble for me. Here's the list: 39 elephants; 60 tigers (
Royal Bengal, Mala yan and Manchurian); 28 spotted leopards; 20
black leopards; 10 clouded leopards; 4 Himalayan snow leopards; 20
hyenas; 52 orang-utans; 31 gibbon apes ( white-handed, silvery,
agile, Hoolock's and siamang); over 5,000 monkeys of different
varie ties; 20 tapirs; 120 Asiatic antelope and deer, including
black buck, nilgai antelope, Indian gazette, axis deer, barking
deer, hog deer, sambor, etc.; p anoas or pigmy water buffalo; i sla
dang or Malayan gaur; i babirussa ( rarest of wttd swine}; 2
African cape buffalo; iS African antelope, including sable, water
buck and the rare whiteoryx of the Sudan; 2 giraffes; 40 wild goats
and sheep, including Markhor goats, Barbary sheep, Mala yan serow
and Punjab sheep; n camels; 40 kangaroos and wal labies; 2 Indian
rhinoceros ( the rarest and most valuable wild animals in America
as this is written); 40 bears, including Mala yan honey bears,
Himalayan black bears and Indian sloth bears; pa large pythons

T. F. Buck anonymously published his experiences in 1860 about
early cattle ranching in South Texas. He bought and sold cattle
from the O'Connors and other notable early Texas cattlemen, then
wrote a book about his experiences in Texas, encouraging others to
come a take advantage of the wide open pastures and fine climate.
But the Civil War ensured that his work would never be widely
distributed and he remained anonymous until 2013, when the editors
at Copano Bay Press sought to put a name with this rare ranching
history. Includes a biography of T. F. Buck, as well as helpful
annotations within the text.
