How beef conquered America and gave rise to the modern industrial
food system By the late nineteenth century, Americans rich and poor
had come to expect high-quality fresh beef with almost every meal.
Beef production in the United States had gone from small-scale,
localized operations to a highly centralized industry spanning the
country. This book tells the remarkable story of the violent
conflict over who would reap the benefits of this new industry and
who would bear its heavy costs. Joshua Specht brings to life a
turbulent era marked by Indian wars, Chicago labor unrest, and food
riots in the streets of New York. A compelling and unfailingly
enjoyable read, Red Meat Republic reveals the complex history of
exploitation and innovation behind the food we consume today.
