Joseph G. McCoy was a cattle rancher who forged a career spanning decades in the westerly frontiers of North America. This book contains Joseph's recollections of his career and major events in his life. The life of a livestock trader and herder in the nineteenth century was not easy; dangers abounded in lands which were newly charted. Organizing an efficient and profitable business in such conditions was no easy feat; ranchers had to be physically tough and determined, as well as capable with overseeing and operating a farm. The frequent threat of cattle theft - a common occurrence in the frontier lands - meant security was an added concern. We also receive a history of Kansas, whereby we learn of the state's steady development. The growth of the population, the establishment of banks and storefronts, and the arrival of the railroads were all landmarks of progress in McCoy's home state.
