The native son of a distinguished West Texas family and a 1954 graduate of Texas A&M whose career and personal pursuits have ranged from farmer to insurance salesman to wildcatter, pipeline entrepreneur, rancher, banker, real estate mogul, big game hunter, conservationist, philanthropist, frontrunning gubernatorial candidate, and oil tycoon, Clayton W. Williams Jr. is by all measures one of a kind.He has repeatedly been on the Forbes list of the 400 wealthiest Americans, yet more than once Claytie has also been on the verge of bankruptcy. This authorized biography captures the dimensions of his fascinating life: his determined work ethic and honesty; his passionate interests and roughhewn style; his devotion to wife and constant companion Modesta and family; his allin wildcatter bets and integrityaboveall payoff of debts; his patented gaffes in the wildest, woolliest Texas governors race ever and their spotlighted consequences for the state and nation; and running through it all, both unrestrained celebrations and kneesontheground repentance.His many notable successes, his most admirable traits, as well as his most outrageous flaws are all portrayed in this book, often in Clayties own words or in the extensive comments, revealing anecdotes, and firstperson accounts of others, supplemented by family and business documents, as well as contemporary journalistic records.This book tells it all, revealing one distinctive maverick who has left his boot prints all across Texas for 75 years.
