Green pictorial cloth, 293 pages, frontis, illustrations. A near fine copy with all the white lettering on the spine intact, very slight soiling on front cover. Very difficult to find with the spine lettering intact. Graff 900, Herd 598, "The inside story of the Great Oxley Ranch." Howes C842, Merrill Aristocrat, Six-Score 25, "Craig was an American who became manager of the Oxley Ranch in the province of Alberta during the 1880s. The book recounts a classic example of absentee ownership (by British lords and commons referred to in the title) and the subsequent mismanagement brought about by conflicts between Craig and the owners. This book and Kelly's are the two best books on Canadian ranching." See Hill, Home to Home for the other side of the story.
