Notes

A historical study of cattle ranching in North America, tracing its roots to Spanish, British, and North African traditions. Explores the adaptation and regional development of ranching from the Caribbean through Mexico and the United States, identifying three major systems—Midwestern, Californian, and Texan. The author argues for the eventual dominance of the Midwestern model and reexamines Texas’s role. Notes based on information provided on the back cover.
