"One of the most intelligent, interesting, and worthwhile contributions to the field of Western history in some time. [Dykstra] has managed to say something rather basic about American culture in general."--William H. Goetzmann, University of Texas at Austin

Robert Dykstra 'tells it as it really was' in Wichita, Abilene, Ellsworth, Dodge City, and Caldwell during the two decades following the Civil War when entrepreneurs endeavored to capture the Texas cattle trade and utilize it as the economic base for building another Chicago or St. Louis on the edge of the Great Plains."--Publishers Weekly
