"The best all-around study of the American cowboy ever written. A must-read " -- Douglas Brinkley, author of The Wilderness Warrior: Theodore Roosevelt and the Crusade for AmericaThe open-range cattle era lasted barely a quarter century, but it left America irrevocably changed. Every page crackles with keen analysis and vivid prose about the Old West.
The tale takes us from dust-choked cattle drives to the unlikely splendors of boomtowns like Abilene, Kansas, and Cheyenne, Wyoming. Cattle Kingdom reveals how the West rose and fell, and how its legacy defines us today. We meet a diverse cast, from cowboy Teddy Blue to failed rancher and future president Teddy Roosevelt.
This is a revolutionary new appraisal of the Old West and the America it made. "Knowlton writes well about all the fun stuff: trail drives, rambunctious cow towns, gunfights
