These few decades following the Civil War brought America its greatest boom-and-bust cycle until the Depression, the invention of the assembly line, and the dawn of the conservation movement. It inspired legends, such as that icon of rugged individualism, the cowboy. Yet this extraordinary time and its import have remained unexamined for decades. Cattle Kingdom reveals the truth of how the West rose and fell, and how its legacy defines us today. The tale takes us from dust-choked cattle drives to the unlikely splendors of boomtowns like Abilene, Kansas, and Cheyenne, Wyoming. We venture from the Texas Panhandle to the Dakota Badlands to the Chicago stockyards. We meet a diverse array of players -- from the expert cowboy Teddy Blue to the failed rancher and future president Teddy Roosevelt. Knowlton shows us how they and others like them could achieve so many outsized feats: killing millions of bison in a decade, building the first opera house on the open range, driving cattle by the thousands, and much more.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 978.02 Kn Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 978.02 Kn Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 978.02 Kn Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 978.02 Kn Checked In Add Copy to MyList Naalehu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 978.02 Kn Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 978.02 Kn Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 978.02 Kn Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Nonfiction 978.02 Kn Checked In Add Copy to MyList
