Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

This text provides a narrative history of the cowboy's real life in the American West. The cowboy didn't evolve, but his job was created specifically by the demand for cheap, efficiently transported meat to feed the working masses in late 19th-century industrial cities. It explores the myths and the realities of the western frontier during the 3 decades that saw the appropriation of the plains by the cattle industry, the eradication of the native American peoples, the near extinction of the buffalo, and the reign of the cowboy. Eyewitness accounts, memoirs, songs and period photographs are included.
