The Loco-weed Disease of the Plains (1909) by C. Dwight Marsh offers a comprehensive early 20th-century study of loco-weed, a plant toxic to livestock grazing on the American plains. Marsh, a leading expert in poisonous plants, details the plant's characteristics, distribution, and the effects of loco-weed poisoning on range animals. This report provides valuable insights into the challenges faced by ranchers and farmers in managing livestock health and land use in the early 1900s.

The text examines the symptoms of loco-weed poisoning in horses, cattle, and sheep, along with potential methods for prevention and treatment. This work serves as an important resource for understanding the ecological and economic impacts of poisonous plants on agricultural practices of the time and is invaluable for researchers and historians studying the history of agriculture, botany, and veterinary medicine in the American West.
