Zusammenfassung:Cowboys, gunslingers and superpowered marshals dominate fictionalised accounts of the American West, but they were minor figures in the true history of the region. In 'The Cattle Kings', Lewis Atherton restores the leading role to the cattlemen - the genuine adventurers who opened the plains, built empires and brought prosperity, law, and order to the West.
