Wyoming Cattle Trails: History Of The Migration Of Oregon-Raised Herds To Mid-Western Markets.

""Wyoming Cattle Trails"" is a comprehensive historical account of the migration of Oregon-raised cattle herds to mid-western markets. Written by John K. Rollinson, the book provides a detailed overview of the cattle industry in the late 19th century, tracing the routes taken by cowboys and their herds as they made their way across the state of Wyoming.The book covers the period from the 1860s to the 1890s, a time when the cattle industry was booming and the demand for beef was high. It describes the challenges faced by cowboys as they navigated treacherous terrain and harsh weather conditions, and the dangers posed by rustlers and hostile Native American tribes.Rollinson also delves into the economic and social impact of the cattle industry on Wyoming and the wider United States, exploring the role of ranchers, traders, and investors in the development of the industry. He also examines the environmental impact of large-scale cattle ranching and the conflicts that arose between ranchers and conservationists.Overall, ""Wyoming Cattle Trails"" is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of the American West, the cattle industry, or the pioneering spirit of the cowboys who helped shape the region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
