Full color print edition. Early westward travelers seeking a direct route to California faced a daunting challenge: a seventy-mile trek through a dry and salty region 19th Century cartographers labeled "The Great American Desert." The Donner-Reed Party may be the best known among those who braved this forbidding desert, but they were neither the first nor the last. From Jedediah Smith's legendary walk across the Great Basin to Dwight D. Eisenhower's consequential cross-country odyssey nearly a century later, the roads and trails crisscrossing western Tooele County find their origins in a surprisingly rich collection of historical tales. Today, two popular herds of wild horses still roam this storied landscape, beckoning sightseers and photographers along these same trails. Robert Hammer brings the history and the horses together in this entertaining and informative book, packed with images from both past and present, guiding the reader through nearly-forgotten times and uninhabitable spaces in search of those living icons of our national heritage, the mustangs of the American West. Also available in standard black-and-white print and e-book editions.

We love Arizona and all the natural beauty and historical sights that one can enjoy. Nothing, however, has been as captivating for us as the wild horses that roam the Salt River. This small herd of feral horses that can be found along the Salt River and surrounding area are so special to us that we look forward each and every time we get to spend a day or just a few hours with them. They are like our friends, family and loved ones. We are delighted to be in their company, interested in what is taking place with them and feel happiness and sadness for the things of life that take place for them. We are also pleased that many others feel an affection for them and that great efforts have been put forth to protect these noble creatures for all of us to enjoy for many years to come.

When the Spanish explorers brought horses to North America, the horses were, in a sense, returning home. Beginning with their origins fifty million years ago, the wild horse has been traced from North America through Asia to the plains of SpainÕs Andalusia and then back across the Atlantic to the ranges of the American West. When given the chance, these horses simply took up residence in the landscape that their ancestors had roamed so long ago. In Wild Horses of the West, J. Edward de Steiguer provides an entertaining and well-researched look at one of the most controversial animal welfare issues of our timeÑthe protection of free-roaming horses on the WestÕs public lands. This is the first book in decades to include the entire story of these magnificent animals, from their evolution and biology to their historical integration into conquistador, Native American, and cowboy cultures. And the story isnÕt over. De Steiguer goes on to address the modern issuesÑ ecology, conservation, and land managementÑsurrounding wild horses in the West today. Featuring stunning color photographs of wild horses, this extremely thorough and engaging blend of history, science, and politics will appeal to students of the American West, conservation activists, and anyone interested in the beauty and power of these striking animals.

"Wild horses thrived for thousands of generations in the mountains, forests, and deserts of the American West. Their family herds existed in environmental harmony until man chose to "manage" them. Since then, every day more of America's wild horses disappear. But courageous people are trying very hard to reverse this, most notably, young people who feel a kinship with these often misunderstood creatures."--Provided by publisher.

A sophisticated ecological analysis of ranching in northern Nevada featuring a new chapter and new epilogue by the authors.First published in 1985, Cattle in the Cold Desert has become a classic in the environmental history of the Great Basin, brilliantly combining a lively account of the development of the Great Basin grazing industry with a detailed scientific discussion of the ecology of its sagebrush/grassland plant communities. The volume traces the history of white settlement in the Great Basin from about 1860, along with the arrival of herds of cattle and sheep to exploit the forage resources of a pristine environment and, through the history of John Sparks, a pioneer cattleman, illustrates how the herdsmen interacted with the sagebrush/grasslands of the cold desert West. As the story unfolds on two levels—that of the herdsmen adapting their livelihood to the challenging conditions of the Great Basin's scanty forage, aridity, and fierce winters, and that of the fragile ecology of the desert plant communities responding to the presence of huge herds of livestock—we see the results of a grand experiment initiated by men willing to venture beyond the limits of accepted environmental potential to settle the Great Basin, as well as the often ruinous consequences of the introduction of domestic livestock into the plant communities of the region. The result is a remarkably balanced and insightful discussion of the grazing industry in the Intermountain West. This new paperback edition includes an additional chapter that addresses the impact of wild mustangs on the Great Basin rangelands, and an epilogue that discusses changes in rangeland management and in rangeland conditions, especially the impact of recent wildfires. As concern over the future of the Great Basin's unique rangeland environment and its principal agricultural industry grows, Cattle in the Cold Desert remains essential reading for everyone who cares about this underappreciated region of the American West.
