Wild Horses and Sacred Cows

Based on more than two hundred interviews and fifteen thousand miles of travel in eight weeks, "Wild Horses and Sacred Cows" is the exciting but not always uplifting story of the exploitation and management of the West's mustangs, with particular attention to their situation since enactment of the 1971 Wild Horse Act, which declared them to be "living symbols of the historic and pioneer spirit of the West." The book is engaging, personal, conversational, and full of living, opinionated characters: old-time mustangers and modern-day outlaws, concerned conservationist and wild-eyed activists, embittered ranchers and gray-toned government bureaucrats. The author gives a rich accounting, one that will be of interest to anyone concerned with competition for scarce natural resources and federal land management practices and problems.
