Dedicated to the stockmen of the Northwest, the book served as a portable field reference enabling ranchers, lawmen, and neighbors to identify branded cattle and horses on sight. As Mutz noted in his preface, a stockman carrying the brand book could quickly identify a stray animal's owner and send a postal card to notify them — saving days of riding and potentially recovering a valuable animal. At the same time, the book made cattle theft far riskier, since the evidence needed to identify stolen stock was now in every man's pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is organized by precinct — Burton, Custer, Garfield, Holt, Keya Paha, Mills, McGuire, Norden, Pine, and Simpson — with each entry listing the stockman's name, post office, range location, brand reading and size, registration type (state, county, or individual), and breed of stock raised, including Durham, Hereford, Short Horn, Polled Angus, Red Polled, and mixed herds. The book also reproduces a useful summary of Nebraska livestock laws, covering brand registration and confliction rules, the estray law and disposition of unclaimed animals, the herd law governing stock damages, the hide registry law requiring butchers and hide purchasers to maintain inspection records, and criminal statutes relating to animals. Practical reference tables for estimating hay tonnage in stacks and bushels of ear corn in storage cribs round out this handbook of open-range cattle country at the turn of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5.5\" x 8.5\". 120 pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSatisfaction guaranteed or you can send it back!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ExileBooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49872388653211,"sku":"Publishing 2026 \/ 358498539954","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/7705\/6411\/files\/s-l1600_b8aa8ff1-e7c5-48e2-ae3e-076d4a5ab87c.jpg?v=1792531833"},{"product_id":"1887-fire-insurance-maps-and-atlas-of-omaha-nebraska","title":"1887 Fire Insurance Maps and Atlas of Omaha, Nebraska","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1887 the Sanborn Map \u0026amp; Publishing Company of New York surveyed Omaha, Nebraska, for the fire-insurance trade, drawing the city at fifty feet to the inch.
