The Cattlemen's Frontier by Louis Pelzer is a comprehensive historical account of the cattle industry in the western United States from 1850 to 1890. The book covers the evolution of the industry from the early days of oxen trains to the formation of pooling companies. It explores the challenges faced by cattlemen as they expanded westward, including conflicts with Native Americans, harsh weather conditions, and the development of new transportation technologies. The book also delves into the role of the cowboy, the rise of cattle towns, and the impact of the industry on the economy and society of the West. Pelzer's work is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the American West and the development of the cattle industry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
