He documents the fifteen largest ranches in Texas and the ways they adapted to changing conditions in the ranching industry. Photographs and maps illustrate the text.

Book excerpt: This controversial, eye-opening book by Elizabeth McGreevy suggests a different perception of Mountain Cedars (also called Ashe Junipers). It digs into the politics, history, economics, culture, and ecology surrounding these trees in the Hill Country of Texas from the 1700s to the present. Since the 1920s, reporters, writers, scientists, landowners, politicians, and cedar fever victims have characterized the trees as a non-native, water-hogging, grass-killing, toxic, useless species to justify its removal. The result has been a glut of Mountain Cedar tall tales. Yet before the 1890s, people highly respected Mountain Cedars. The Mountain Cedars they reported were large timber trees with strong, decay-resistant heartwood. Most were cut down and sold to boost the young Hill Country economy. The clearcutting of old-growth forests and dense woodlands and the continuous overgrazing of prairies that followed led to mass soil degradation and erosion. Acting as nature's bandage, Mountain Cedars morphed into pioneering bushes and spread across degraded soils. This book tracks down the origins of the tall tales to determine what is true, what is false, and what is somewhere in between. Through a series of revelations, the author replaces anti-cedar sentiments with a more constructive, less emotional approach to Hill Country land management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The ranches where Michael Crouser so affectionately captures these scenes tell a story of staying power, of joy in the beauty of the world, of gratitude for the working animals—the dogs and the horses—of midwifery and husbandry, of seeing the seasons through. . . . It is a pleasure to be brought into this out-of-the-way part of the world with such understated passion." —Gretel Ehrlich, from the introduction The mountain ranches of western Colorado preserve a way of life that has nearly vanished from the American scene. Families who have lived on the same land for five or six generations raise cattle much as their ancestors did, following an annual cycle of breeding, birthing, branding, grazing, and selling livestock. Michael Crouser spent more than a decade (2006–2016) photographing family cattle ranches in Colorado, intrigued "not by the ways their lives are changing but by the way they have stayed the same." He was, he says, "most interested in the traditional elements of these traditional lives, . . . what they call 'cowboying.'" Intimate without being sentimental about the realities of ranch work, Mountain Ranch's duotone images capture the raw and basic elements of a hard and basic life. In the afterword, Crouser pays verbal tribute to ranch people who are "the real deal," whose seasonal round of work forms the subject of the acclaimed nature writer Gretel Ehrlich's foreword. Portraits of eight men and women who eloquently describe their long lives on Colorado mountain ranches complete the volume. The ever-increasing commercial and residential development of traditional ranch land and the economic difficulties facing a new generation of ranchers threaten the future of cattle ranching in the mountains of Colorado. Mountain Ranch powerfully records the last vestiges of a tradition that exerts a nearly universal fascination and mystique—cowboying in the American West.

Book excerpt: Can Two Men Escape the Horror of the Civil War and the Prejudice of Reconstruction by Heading West? As in all wars, young men volunteer to fight. The Union recruited Jack Donaldson from the Catskill Mountains in New York to whip the Rebels into submission and return home before the next harvest. After he survives two years of war, watches his closest friends die in battle, and suffers a gunshot wound at Gettysburg, he's had enough. Jack decides to muster out and start a new life by heading west on the Santa Fe Trail. In Louisiana, a Confederate major convinced a Louisiana detachment of free-born black men, including Ty Jones, to help the South repel the northern invaders. Ty leaves the peaceful, sheltered plantation of his childhood and marches off to war, full of pride. Brutal wartime conditions and senseless discrimination are a rude awakening to the outside world and after humiliating defeat at Vicksburg, he returns home. With the advice of his father, he leaves war and the aftermath of the Southern defeat behind and heads west in search of a new opportunity. The two veterans from opposite sides of the war meet on the Santa Fe Trail, discover they have plenty in common, and form a partnership. Their goal: start a cattle ranch in the rough country of the west Texas plains and make it a place to call their own. Their dreams come with a price. Their pasts haunt them as they struggle to establish the Flat Top Mountain Ranch during the Westward Expansion and Indian Wars. James E. Doucette is a retired businessman and part-time rancher. He grew up in the Northeast and moved to Texas in 1983. In 1988, he and his wife, Denise, purchased the Flat Top Mountain Ranch. One thing they've learned about ranching is that when the fences are down, the cattle are scattered, and the Texas High Plains winter wind is blowing, there are only two people out chasing the cattle-the rancher and his wife.

Book excerpt: The author tells of his growing up in the spectacular mountains of Colorado on the Two-Bar Ranch. Life there provides the backdrop for the funny, wild, and sometimes heart wrenching events he and his brothers come upon. They encounter right and wrong, life and death on the ranch. Many people wish they could have lived an exciting childhood with great parents, a wonderful dog, many siblings, and vast freedom in beautiful high mountains. This adventurous boy has all of these and much more. Doing the fun and ornery, his home ranch was the site of stopping the local train, raiding trespassing fishermen, catching skunks by the tails, teaching magpies to talk, and fishing for wily trout in unusual ways. This 1950s story is also about wild pets, hand fishing, livestock defending, weird hired hands, and feuding with a stubborn neighbor. Having lived wild, free, and independent, this kid eventually has to deal with the dreaded sale of his home ranch. Can he let go or save the ranch he truly loves? Funny, insightful, and poignant, this story captures a marvelous growing up. Based on the author's own life, this memoir provides insights about living an authentic and exciting ranch life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this important work of legal, political, and moral theory, Joseph William Singer offers a controversial new view of property and the entitlements and obligations of its owners. Singer argues against the conventional understanding that owners have the right to control their property as they see fit, with few limitations by government. Instead, property should be understood as a mode of organizing social relations, he says, and he explains the potent consequences of this idea. Singer focuses on the ways in which property law reflects and shapes social relationships. He contends that property is a matter not of right but of entitlement—and entitlement, in Singer’s work, is a complex accommodation of mutual claims. Property requires regulation—property is a system and not just an individual entitlement, and the system must support a form of social life that spreads wealth, promotes liberty, avoids undue concentration of power, and furthers justice. The author argues that owners have not only rights but obligations as well—to other owners, to nonowners, and to the community as a whole. Those obligations ensure that property rights function to shape social relationships in ways that are both just and defensible.
