About this book

John Hittson: Cattle King on the Texas and Colorado Frontier by Maddux, Vernon R.. Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780870813535.

Arguably the best-known Westerner in the US in the 1870s, epitomizing the frontier spirit and the "rags to riches" myth, John Hittson is almost unknown today, even to many Western historians. This is a chronicle of his rise from poor dirt farmer to one of the wealthiest cattlemen of his time, detailing his exploits in the Civil War, private raids, and in the hugely profitable cattle business. Includes b&w photos and maps of his travels throughout the West. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
