註釋This full-color history details the 400 years of bovine history in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Sponsored by the Virginia Cattlemen's Foundation and the Virginia Dairymen's Association, this attractive book pulls together a variety of resources from documented archaeology for the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to extensive oral histories for information about the twentieth-century cattle industry. Two types of sidebars -- one detailing specific stories and the other examining various resources used for the book -- are scattered throughout the volume. The importance of cattle during Virginia's eighteenth-century wars and during the Civil War, the influence of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson on the cattle industry, the rise of great cattle drives, the fat cattle export business, the specialization of the dairy and beef industries, and modern scientific innovations such as artificial insemination are among the many topics discussed at length. -- Publisher.
