The transformation of the American West is one of the key topics in
the study of United States history and global environmental
history. The role of ranching in the West is also central to the
growing field of animal history. This volume covers the periods
between the early Indigenous acquisition of horses in the 18th
century, to the introduction of Hispanic horsemanship techniques
and market cattle in the "Old West," and finally to the work of
ranching families to sustain their way of life.The documents in
this volume reveal not simply the human past, but also the distinct
histories of cattle, horses, and the land. Readers will explore
intersecting themes of capitalism and beef, environmental change,
rural labor, gender and racial politics as debated by westerners
themselves, as well as the meaning and power of the cowboy myth in
American life. The introduction incorporates recent scholarship and
provides a fresh look at this key topic in American history, along
with the informative headnotes and rich annotations that help
orient the reader within the historical sources.
