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.

"Paul Starrs takes us on a lively, insightful ride through the varied ranch lands of the American West. Drawing skillfully on his visits to many different ranching areas, he clearly illuminates the difficulties confronting ranchers yesterday and today. Starrs also levels sharp criticisms at U.S. western land policy. Even readers who disagree with his prescriptions will find Starrs a stimulating, often provocative guide." -- Richard W. Slatta, author of The Cowboy Encyclopedia and Cowboys of the Americas
A detailed and comprehensive look at one of America's most enduring institutions.
