"Significant study into the expansion of the range cattle industry into the northern plains, from the late sixties to the early nineties."---Wright Howes. "Still perhaps the most important piece of scholarship on the range cattle industry. Osgood was the first historian to set forth the classic thesis on the industry; its beginnings in Texas, expansion north through the cattle drives, the cattle boom of the 1880s, and finally "disaster and transition." The book gives an excellent overview of the industry up to 1900."---Bill Reese. A fine, bright copy in dust jacket with light wear to the spine ends and extremities
