“This engaging book, by a leading historian of America’s central plains, clearly and beautifully renders a sense of place and explains how the Texas cattle trade contributed to transforming wild prairie grasslands into today’s domesticated landscape.”—Jeffrey K. Stine Curator for Environmental History, Smithsonian Institution, and coeditor of Living in the Anthropocene: Earth in the Age of Humans
“Jim Sherow’s new study of Joseph McCoy and the Chisolm Trail deftly spans the continent, synthesizing economic and environmental histories to reveal the fascinating evolution of one of the nation’s first big businesses—cattle. As Sherow reveals, beef transformed America and Americans.”—Sara Dant author of Losing Eden: An Environmental History of the American West
