North American cattle-ranching frontiers: origins, diffusion, and differentiation

Auteur :
JORDAN, T.G.

Description :
Develops a thesis that the cattle-raising complex in North America was diffused from several sources in the Atlantic façade of the Old World: Spanish Andalusia and the Meseta; hill areas of Great Britain; and the Sahelo-Sudanese in Africa. Although the equestrian material culture underwent modifications in the New World, modern ranching in the USA continues to reflect this complex ancestry. - (DWG)
