This book contextualizes the struggle for better railroad service in the transportation of livestock in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author presents a historical overview of the livestock industry and the challenges faced by ranchers and farmers in getting their products to market, highlighting the economic losses incurred due to delays and poor service. Through first-hand accounts and testimonies, the book explores the impact of these inefficiencies on the quality of livestock and the livelihoods of those involved in the industry.
