The End of the Cattle Trail

The End of the Cattle Trail is a book written by J. L. Hill that tells the story of the decline of the cattle industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book explores the factors that led to the end of the cattle trail, which was the primary means of transporting cattle from the ranches in Texas to the markets in the north. Hill examines the impact of new technologies, such as refrigerated railcars and barbed wire fencing, on the industry and the ways in which these innovations changed the nature of cattle ranching. The book also explores the social and economic implications of the end of the cattle trail, including the displacement of cowboys and the transformation of rural communities. Through a combination of historical research and personal anecdotes, Hill provides a comprehensive and engaging account of the end of an era in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
