Prime Cut Livestock Raising and Meatpacking in the United States, 1607-1983

Red meat--it's as American as apple pie. In a world where most hunger is alleviated with an occasional handful of grain, red meat's daily appearance on most American tables is a vivid symbol of national prosperity. The red-meat industry is also a powerful symbol. Undulating with the waves made by entrepreneurs and monopolies, shortages and gluts, scandal and government regulations, the industry mirrors the nation's turbulent economic history.Skaggs, Jimmy M. is the author of 'Prime Cut Livestock Raising and Meatpacking in the United States, 1607-1983' with ISBN 9781585440450 and ISBN 1585440450.
