I ordered thls book because I am a very distant cousin of this family. I am very involved in documenting the genealogy of my Winston family so this was very appropriate. I found that the book included too much redundancy and too many posed pictures. I was more interested in the documentation of the lives of these family members rather than beautiful photography. It is just a matter of perspective.
The authors name is Janell Kleberg, not Janell King.Janell captures the people of ranching. The images are taken while she worked side by side with the men and women of King Ranch. Photos were taken as she worked horseback on the various operations including Brazil,Texas,Argentina,Australia and Venezuela.The images are of a time past 1970-1990. Tio Kleberg
The author has documented in photography the times of her life, on "her" ranch. She is a descendant of Richard King, the founder of the King Ranches. This book is a pictorial of the King Ranches scattered all across the globe. It is a nice documentation of ranch life. Good job, Janell! ... you still have calves to brand ... Ere-flecha!
Waiting For Daylight: King Ranch: Images From The Past is a marvelous showcase of full-color photographs taken by Janell Kleberg from horseback while working cattle in South Texas, Brazil, Argentina, and Australia. Descriptive captions add insight to the moving images of ranch and animal herding life. Providing the reader with a unique suspension of the ever-present flow of time, the beautiful scenery, the hard-working horses, and superbly documented images of everyday life create and unforgettable window into the lives of dedicated men and women employed in the hard but rewarding work of ranching.
Waiting for Daylight is a wonderful coffee table book that highlights the joys of ranching which only someone with a broad background in the saddle could write. Janell Kleberg also has a great artistic touch seen in the many photographs that are sprinkled throughout the book. Having been raised on the King Ranch do Brasil, Kleberg's book brought back many memories. She has done a wonderful job of capturing the many locales of King Ranch operations outside of the USA.
