Ranching With The Lords And Commons: Or Twenty Years On The Range is a memoir written by John Roderick Craig and originally published in 1903. The book chronicles Craig's experiences as a rancher in the American West during the late 19th century. Craig begins by describing his childhood in Scotland and his eventual journey to the United States, where he worked as a cowboy on various ranches in Texas, Wyoming, and Montana. He then goes on to detail his own experiences as a ranch owner, discussing the challenges of raising cattle and sheep on the open range, as well as the difficulties of dealing with harsh weather conditions and predatory animals.Throughout the book, Craig also provides insights into the social and political climate of the West during this time period, including the conflicts between ranchers and homesteaders, the rise of big business in the cattle industry, and the impact of government policies on ranching practices.Overall, Ranching With The Lords And Commons is a fascinating firsthand account of life on the American frontier, offering readers a glimpse into the challenges and rewards of ranching in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
