First edition. 8vo. Limited to 1500 copies of which this is No. 238. Signed by Maurice Frink. Decorated cloth, maps on endpapers, xv [1], 465 pp., preface, 34 pages of photographs, illustrations by Nick Eggenhofer, maps, bibliography, index. The story of the cattle industry on the plains north of Texas, 1865-1895, and a synoptic account of that era, plus an economic study of the British cattle companies that operated in America, and an analysis of the career of one of the more successful cattlemen, John Wesley Iliff. Six Score 45 says, "A collection of three excellent essays relating to the range cattle industry. Frink's essay, WHEN GRASS WAS KING, is a year-by-year survey of the industry from 1865 to 1895. Jackson's essay, BRITISH INTERESTS IN THE RANGE CATTLE INDUSTRY, remains the best study of this important facet of the business. Spring's essay, is a biography of the near legendary John W. Iliff, the greatest of the early cattle kings of Colorado. The three essays, each of which could be a book in itself, make this a vital and interesting reference." A fine, bright copy. Price-clipped dust jacket shows moderate rubbing and two 1" closed tears to bottom edge.…
