The Investment Boom In British-Texan Cattle Companies 1880–1885

Richard Graham

Business History Review, 1960, vol. 34, issue 4, 421-445

Abstract: Like most speculative extravaganzas, the Western cattle boom was compounded out of a bona fide opportunity, exaggeration, gullibility, inadequate communications, dishonesty, and incompetence. There were some solid residual benefits, representing, in effect, an involuntary gift by British investors to their American cousins.
