and wipe out the independent cattlemen. Due to internal squabbling
at every level of the company, it fell apart and went bankrupt in 1890.
Historic certificate of a dark and ugly period of the western cattle and
cattle ranching industry. Red specimen overprints. VF condition with
light toning of paper. Rare.����������������������������������������������������������Est. $450-600
