Texas Woollybacks: The Range Sheep and Goat Industry (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781623494186)

With a new epilogue to carry the story to the present, Paul Carlson engagingly chronicles the development of the range sheep and goat industry from Spanish times to about 1930, when widespread use of mesh-wire fences brought an end to the open-range management of sheep and goat ranches in Texas.

"This well-written and thoroughly researched book will invariably be appreciated by those individuals interested in southwestern and agricultural history."--Journal of American History

"This volume is impressive in the array and quality of information presented concerning the sheep and goat industry in Texas."--Western Historical Quarterly

". . . a comprehensive, well-organized, and easily read treatment of a subject comparatively neglected by historians of the American livestock industry."--Great Plains Quarterly

". . . employs a down-to-earth yet scholarly approach to give us a highly readable, very informative book on a neglected subject . . . accuracy, insight, and readability make Texas Woollybacks an excellent book."--Southwest Chronicle
