Book Description
The Day of the Cattleman was first published in 1929. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. The legend of the Wild West, as celebrated in thousands upon thousands of western stories and movies, radio and television programs, has a firm grip on the imaginations of both young and old, not only in America but in many other lands. But, popular though such versions are, they do not tell how the west was really won. Professor Osgood's account sets the record straight for those who want authentic history rather than melodramatic fiction. "The range cattleman," Professor Osgood writes, "has more solid achievements to his credit than the creation of a legend. He was the first to utilize the semi-arid plains. Using the most available natural resources, the native grasses, as a basis, he built up a great and lucrative enterprise, attracted eastern and foreign capital to aid him in the development of a new economic area, stimulated railroad building in order that the product of the ranges might get to an eastern market, and laid the economic foundation of more than one western commonwealth." Professor Osgood traces the rise and fall of the range cattle industry, particularly in Montana and Wyoming, from 1845 to the turn of the century. He gives a detailed account of the activities of the stock growers' associations and of the cattlemen's relations with the railroads and with the Federal government. The book has won critical acclaim both in this country and abroad. The Saturday Review has described it as an "honest, scientific, and thorough examination" of a "semi-epic phase of Western life, now almost completely dead." In England, the Times Literary Supplement called it "the only substantial record of this particular chapter in the history of the West."

Book Description
Located on the thirteenth floor of the Dallas Grand Hotel, the cattleman's suite is the chosen site of Julie Drithers' not-so-happy engagement party. Her father, a once wealthy but now almost bankrupt Texas oilman, has rented the old suite again to celebrate his daughter's engagement in the same place and manner that he had celebrated his own engagement thirty years earlier. Only this time, the engagement is the father's idea, not the bride's. Through the calculated wedding of his daughter to Matt Snooker, the son of his best friend and founder of the industry's leading pipe and rigging company, Mr. Drithers hopes to save his own ailing oil company and avoid disaster. However, he gets more disaster than he can handle when Bobby, Julie's true love, sets out to rescue his one-and-only. Drithers' problems seem small compared to Julie's wrath when she learns of the deception played upon her. Add an untimely pregnancy, two clumsy villains, a hotel staff from hell, and the recipe for comedy is complete!
