(foreword I N this Big Bend Country, with its spirit of vigorous and elemental beauty—a spirit that dwells in the rocks of its mountains, the flowers of its desert, and the hearts of its sturdy pioneers—the red man, the Spanish explorer, the Mexican, and the ranchers and cowboys from various states wrote their records upon the cliffs, the deserts, and the plains long years before we, the students of Sul Ross, came to take our place among its hills and to have our share in the making of its history. We have endeavored in the 1929 Brand to capture that spirit of rugged and enduring beauty and to depict against the background of this age-old western land, with its wealth of history and legend, the scenes of our own happy and interesting activities.
