Cattle Country of Peter French

Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Cattle trade
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
Into the valley of Donner and Blitzen, almost a century ago, rode Peter French with 1,200 head of California cattle. John Devine of White Horse Ranch was already in the Harney country of Southeast Oregon, but the Blitzen was left for Peter. This is the story of how the great stockmen of the late 1800s set a pattern for modern cow ranches, improving the land and cattle by the best scientific methods available. Peter French himself irrigated thousands of acres of sageland with his canals and ditches. Hard-driving and ambitious, French, in a few years, won control of 200,000 acres of range land, and thousands of head of cattle.

Jack London, Enhanced Ebook
Author: Cecelia Tichi
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 146962267X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
Jack London (1876-1916) found fame with his wolf-dog tales and sagas of the frozen North, but Cecelia Tichi challenges the long-standing view of London as merely a mass-market producer of potboilers. A onetime child laborer, London led a life of poverty in the Gilded Age before rising to worldwide acclaim for stories, novels, and essays designed to hasten the social, economic, and political advance of America. In this major reinterpretation of London's career, Tichi examines how the beloved writer leveraged his written words as a force for the future. Tracing the arc of London's work from the late 1800s through the 1910s, Tichi profiles the writer's allies and adversaries in the cities, on the factory floor, inside prison walls, and in the farmlands. Thoroughly exploring London's importance as an artist and as a political and public figure, Tichi brings to life a man who merits recognition as one of America's foremost public intellectuals. This enhanced e-book edition of Jack London features significant archival motion picture footage. Eight ebook enhancements take readers into the motion-picture world of Jack London's 1900s--to the very sights that impacted his bestselling writings. Readers get front row seats to the terrifying San Francisco earthquake of 1906, to the Hawaiian beachfront where London first saw the Waikiki "surf riders," to ringside where prizefighters battled for championships. These and other historic film footage clips make this an ebook for the twenty-first century.

Oregon Pioneer Cattle Barons
Author: Dorys Crow Grover
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1684099102
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
Much as men rushed to the California gold fields, a small group of proud and visionary cattlemen heard of the boundless open and free range land of Central and Southeastern Oregon in the mid-1800s and brought their herds there. Sometimes called “Cattle Kings,” or “Cattle Barons,” they ruled with painstaking vigor, occasional cruelty, and tenacity the untitled land. Thousands of their cattle and horses grazed on the boundless prairies. Four men who built cattle empires were John Devine, Peter French, Bill Hanley, and Henry Miller. One of these four barons eventually owned it all. Smaller ranchers were tolerated but bun-carrying vaqueros discouraged intruders, particularly sheep men and homesteaders. Their empires lasted until the mid-1900s, but during their time they made the era legendary in the history of the region.
