BINDING/CONDITION: brown cloth with gilt spine text; a Near Fine book, with a Near Fine dust jacket.. 8vo (about 9.5 inches tall) . Index. Description: Features 65 black and white illustrations and maps. From the jacket blurb: ''Cattle ranching in the Old World and New is reinterpreted in this study that both recasts the history of a well-known topic and is also truly original. Jordan begins by tracing how different cattle-raising cultures in Spain, the British Isles, and North Africa helped shape varieties of ranching in the New World. He then delineates the American adaptations of ranching beginning with European expansion in the Caribbean and then considers continued evolution in Mexico, the American South, and the West. By 1850, three distinct ranching cultures existed -- Midwestern, Californian, and Texas. Jordan argues that over the next fifty years the Midwestern system triumphed over its two rivals throughout the West. In particular the role of Texas is depicted at less important than previously thought.'' This is part of the series, Histories of the American Frontier, under the general editorship of Ray Allen Billington.
