I just received a special gift which is the book titled "Great Ranches of the West" by Jim Keen and Ami Reeves. The book provides a beautiful array of photo's and stories around working ranches in the 17 western states. As you open past the publisher's page of KM Media Inc you begin to find yourself on an adventure featuring the first of 30 family ranches each with a story.
