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."
The Wyoming Frontier meets its match in a tough as nails cowpuncher and cattleman named William Pendleton Ricketts. "A natural book with much interesting information. It contains the best account of trailing cattle from Oregon to Wyoming that I have seen." -J. Frank Dobie William Pendleton Ricketts was a cowboy and cattleman to his core. Heading west at a young age from his parent’s home in Kentucky he ended up in the beautiful wilds of Wyoming. Starting out a cowpuncher learning the trade he battled Indians, Outlaw Broncs, Harsh Winters, and anything that the Wyoming range could throw at him. Later in life he owned several ranches around Gillette “The toughest cow-town on the map.” The Sunnyside Ranch and Rawhide Ranch ran thousands of head of cattle in the area. An extremely harsh winter in the year of 1886 taught him a valuable lesson after losing over 75 percent of the herd. Ricketts was one of the first cattleman in the area to put up hay for the winter. He never suffered a serious loss of any magnitude afterwards. He became an honorary life member of the Wyoming Stockgrowers association. Ultimately settling down in Sheridan, Wyoming, W.P. Ricketts lived the frontier as few have. He shares his experiences here in Fifty Years in the Saddle with a truth that can be felt through the ages. This is the western frontier at its finest. From the Foreword: To qualify as a true western cattleman, one must be able to meet the reverses in life as cheerfully as the good things; in this Mr. W. P. Ricketts, who is the author of “Fifty Years In The Saddle” has amply proved himself. On October 6, 1920, Mr. Ricketts fell from a stock-yards fence while shipping cattle to Omaha. This acci­dent resulted in the loss of his left limb. Later he lost the sight of both eyes. To an active man, these were heavy blows, but in his reaction to them Mr. Ricketts proved his right to the title of a true western cattleman. Then as a climax, his wife, Johannah B. Ricketts, passed away in 1941, two years after the completion of the writing of this book. She had been his constant com­panion and nurse during his years of affliction, and car­ried out his wishes. In spite of all these reverses, Mr. Ricketts, now 83 years of age, is never too low in spirits to relish a good cowboy yarn; he is still actively interested in all that goes on about him. In 1942 he attended the Gillette convention of the Wyoming Stockgrowers Association, of which he has been a member for 62 years and is an honorary life member. He attended the Birney rodeo on July 4, 1942, and dis­played a lively interest in events there.
"This thundering book by the author of Old Jules is the story of the vast cattle industry of the American West; stupendous in length, concept, and achievement, it is the result of a lifetime of knowledge and research. . . . The whole story is here, long but never dull, written with humor and understatement."—Kirkus Service "Here, tough as whang leather, nourishing as pemmican, turbulent as Dodge City on a Saturday night in the late 1870s, is what time may well decide is the definitive history of the founding and flourishing of the cattle industry on this continent. . . . This splendid book says more (and says it better) about the most romantic figures of the old West than dozens of other books that have ranged over this familiar ground. Mari Sandoz has given herself room to move with tremendous drive and scholarship."—Victor P. Hass, Chicago Sunday Tribune "Drawing the fullest flavor from her expert descriptive technique, Mari Sandoz has written a regional history to stand among the best of its kind."—Library Journal
