Cattle is a comprehensive and authoritative chronicle of the American livestock industry and the rugged men who shaped the frontier. Co-authored by legendary Western novelist William MacLeod Raine and veteran rancher Will C. Barnes, this work explores the evolution of the cattle trade from its Spanish origins to the era of the great drives and the eventual fencing of the open range. It provides a detailed look at the life of the cowboy, the management of vast herds, and the economic forces that transformed the wild plains into a sprawling agricultural empire.

Through historical analysis and firsthand knowledge, the authors depict the challenges faced by pioneers, including environmental hardships, rustlers, and the shifting landscape of Western law and order. Cattle serves as both a historical record and a tribute to the endurance and ingenuity required to build one of America's most iconic industries. Readers will find a rich tapestry of anecdotes and facts that capture the essence of the Old West, making it an essential resource for those interested in American history, agriculture, and the enduring legacy of the frontier.
