Inhaltsangabe

This beautifully designed volume, illustrated with 130 photographs and maps, traces the history and geography of ranching in the United States. Starrs (geography, U. of Nevada) explains how Congress mistakenly applied standards of land management better suited to the realities of Eastern farmers to the cattle lands of the West, resulting in conflicts which in many ways continue to play themselves out to this day. General historical and theoretical overviews are augmented by five regional case studies. The author leavens an academic approach with the experience of having himself worked for six years as a cattleman. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
