For Wolf Brand Chili, it has been 100 years.  In 1895, sixteen-year-old Lyman T. Davis appeared on the Streets of Corsicana Texas and began selling his "ranch" chili from the back of a wagon in front of the Blue Front Saloon.  Although no one knew it at the time, Davis was beginning an odyssey that would lead to the foundation of a company destined to become a Texas and Southwest legend.  This is the story of how it all happened and the people who made it work.
