Synopsis

A lively, first-hand look at how the Forest Service helped shape the western open range.

This book traces a formative era in range policy and shows how early decisions affected cattle, sheep, and the land. It blends history, policy, and field experience into a readable narrative you can trust.

From the frontier to the modern era, the book records key moments, people, and clashes over grazing use. It shows how cooperation and conflict between stockmen and Forest Service staff shaped how ranges were managed, protected, and shared. The work highlights the people who built the system and the challenges they faced in a changing West.

• Insights into early policy formation and the people who created it
• Stories of clashes, negotiations, and eventual cooperation on the ranges
• Profiles of leaders and field staff who guided range management
• Context for why grazing remains a central, evolving issue in forest lands

Ideal for readers of Western history, forestry, and agricultural policy who want a grounded account of how the open range was managed and preserved.

Présentation de l'éditeur

EARLY during each of the years
shortly following the turn of the century, patrons of the old
Albany Hotel of Denver, Colorado, as they lay in their beds, could
hear an ominous rumble, almost a roar, of voices welling up
from the glass dome which then covered a portion of the hotel
lobby. To the initiated it meant that the rowmen of the 'Vest,
in annual convention assemb1ed, again were discussing the
various proposals Gifford Pinchot had made to govern the grazing
of domestic livestock on the public lands which had been, or
were to be, "tvithdrawn from the public domain as forest reserves.
The conversations were tinged with salt and sulphur,
and the rich idiom of the Old 'Vest poured out less often
in prose than in blank verse.
Some of the speakers were men who themselves had helped
to win the West, many more the sons of such men. Some were
men of erudition and high statesmanship, O'vners or managers of
large interests with established records of objective manageme
