The Loco-weed Disease of the Plains (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781177916615)

"The Loco-weed Disease of the Plains," originally published in 1909, offers a detailed examination of the effects of loco-weed, a plant toxic to livestock, particularly horses and cattle, across the American plains. C. Dwight Marsh provides a thorough analysis of the plant's distribution, its impact on animal health, and the economic consequences for farmers and ranchers. This work includes botanical descriptions of various loco-weed species and detailed observations of the symptoms of loco-weed poisoning in animals.

This historical study is an invaluable resource for those interested in the history of agricultural science, veterinary medicine, and the ecological challenges faced by early settlers and ranchers in the American West. Understanding the historical context of plant-related diseases remains crucial for modern agricultural and ecological research.
