Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'The Xit Ranch of Texas and the Early Days of the Llano Estacado' is a definitive account of one of the largest and most influential cattle operations in the history of the American West. Written by historian J. Evetts Haley, this work meticulously details the origins, operation, and legacy of the three-million-acre ranch that spanned ten counties in the Texas Panhandle. The narrative explores the unique circumstances that led to the ranch's creation-the exchange of state land for the construction of the Texas State Capitol-and provides an in-depth look at the challenges of early frontier life on the high plains.Readers will find comprehensive descriptions of the ranch's management, the daily lives of the cowboys who worked the land, and the broader social and economic impact of the cattle industry during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Haley captures the spirit of the Llano Estacado, documenting the transition from open range to fenced ranching and the eventual settlement of the region. This book stands as an essential resource for those interested in Texas history, agricultural development, and the enduring lore of the cattle kingdom.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
