This copy was owned by a G. W. Saunders. It is possible that it was owned by this George Washington Saunders 1854-1933 cattleman who was born in Rancho Texas on February 12 1854. In 1874-75 he became a member of Henry Scott's Minute Company of Refugio which patrolled the Mexican border. In 1873 Saunders served as deputy sheriff under James Burk of Goliad. By 1910 he incorporated the George W. Saunders Livestock Commission Company with offices in San Antonio Fort Worth Kansas City and St. Louis. His company grossed $5 million each year. When the George W. Saunders Live Stock Commission Company dissolved in 1958 it reportedly was the oldest livestock-commission firm operating continuously under the same name in Texas. In addition to his business interests Saunders supervised the management of four ranches and a farm of 700 acres. Saunders's personal letters included communication with Queen Marie of Romania Will Rogers J. Evetts Haley and artists Will James and John Gutzon Borglumqv. All recognized his expertise on the cattle industry. He was largely responsible for bringing Borglum to San Antonio in 1925 to sculpt the Trail Drivers' Memorial Borglum's major Texas work. The model of the Trail Drivers' monument unveiled in January 1926 was cast in bronze in 1940 and displayed outside Pioneer Hall near the Witte Museum. Saunders initiated one of the rodeo's most popular competitive events roping at the San Antonio Fair of 1892. He was instrumental in the construction in 1889 of the Union Station Stock Yards of San Antonio which he later served as a director and general manager. During World War I he served on the local exemption board supported war activities and encouraged war-bond drives. The Old Trail Drivers Association of Texas was organized with Saunders as vice president on February 15 1915. He was elected president in 1917 and served several years. He is recognized for having the foresight and initiative to be the driving force in publishing The Trail Drivers of Texas 1925 a book that has been called the principal source book on cattlemen and cattle drives. He was a member of the Southwestern Cattle Raisers' Association and the Texas Cattle Raisers' Association and contributed objects identified with the range to the Witte Museum. Saunders died on July 3 1933. His body lay in state at the municipal auditorium. The Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters hardcover
