Pioneer Texas ranchers
like Col. C. C. Slaughter,
George T. Reynolds, J. A.
Matthews, E. F. Williams or
Dan Gardner rode tall in the
saddle, but they would have
been the first to admit their
success depended on good
management.
Three men noted for their
ranch management received
special honor at Ranch Day
1976 ceremonies, held
Saturday at the Ranching
Heritage Center of The
Museum of Texas Tech
University in Lubbock.
Corrals, windmills and a
picturesque barn of the 1870s
were dedicated in special
ceremonies at 11 a.m. The
dedications preceded a
chuckwagon luncheon, a
business meeting for the
Ranching Heritage
Association (formerly the
Ranch Headquarters
Association) and a Ft. Griffin
Fandangle Sampler.
Especially honored were
George M. Slaughter, who
managed the Running Water
and the Lazy'S ranches in
West Texas for his father,
