Somebody Else's Money: The Walrond Ranch Story, 1883-1907
ISBN: 9781552382578 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The Walrond Ranch, a cattle and horse operation in the foothills of southern Alberta, was one of the four giants of the livestock grazing industry in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. At its height, the Walrond ran over 10,000 cattle along with several hundred well-bred Clydesdale and Shire horses on nearly 300,000 acres of land.
Ultimately, however, the Walrond failed. The driving force behind the ranch, Dr. Duncan McNab McEachran, had high aspirations and communicated his optimism to Sir John Walrond and the rest of the British investors funding the venture. But... The Walrond Ranch, a cattle and horse operation in the foothills of southern Alberta, was one of the four giants of the livestock grazing industry in ...

Cowboys, Gentlemen, and Cattle Thieves : Ranching on the Western Frontier
ISBN: 9780773532526 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Prostitution, gunfights, barroom brawls, and cattle rustling -- while prevailing images from the American Old West -- have typically been absent from histories of the Canadian frontier. In "Cowboys Gentlemen & Cattle Thieves," Warren Elofson demonstrates that the Canadian frontier was less restrained, law-abiding, and insulated from death and violence than has been believed. He challenges traditional views that Canadian ranching society was a microcosm of the "Old World," arguing that the greatest influence on ranchers and settlers was the need to deal with the frontier environment.

So Far and Yet So Close: Frontier Cattle Ranching in Western Prairie Canada and the Northern Territory of Australia
ISBN: 9781552387948 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) So Far and Yet So Close provides a comparative study of frontier cattle ranching in two societies on opposite ends of the globe. It is also an environmental history that at the same time centres on both the natural and frontier environments. There are many points at which the western Canadian and northern Australian cattle frontiers evoke comparisons. Most obviously they came to life at about the same time: late 1870s-early 1880s. In both cases corporations were heavy investors and utilized an open range system in which tens of thousands of cattle roamed over thousands of square acres....

The Rockingham Connection and the Second Founding of the Whig Party
ISBN: 9780773513884 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Elofson reveals that the Rockinghams, far more than previously recognized, were governed by a coherent set of constitutional ideals and argues that they saw "party" not primarily as a means to office but as a vehicle for public-spirited men to "secure the predominance of right and uniform principles" in the operation of the state. He examines the ideological writings of Edmund Burke, the Party's noted and prolific publicist, placing them in their political context and providing a new analysis of Burke's renowned pamphlet Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontents (1770). Throughout,...
