Download or read book Welsh Cattle Drovers written by Richard J. Moore-Colyer and published by Landmark Pub.. This book was released on 2002 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1976, this book is still the scholarly text on the former huge transportation of animals from Wales into England, especially to its large cities. This is not just a story about the movement of cattle. Towns grew on the drovers roads; the buying of cattle and selling them on delivery was a safe way of moving money about and one drover set up the Black Ox Bank which Lloyds bought 80 years or so ago. The text traces the old roads; the reminders of them; and the contribution to Welsh economic and social history of droving. Richard Moore-Collyer traces a whole way of everyday life which has completely gone, in a comprehensive and thought provoking manner.
Download or read book Second Stages in Researching Welsh Ancestry written by John Rowlands and published by Genealogical Publishing Com. This book was released on 1999 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anyone who has had any success in researching their Welsh ancestry will know that a grasp of specialized Welsh genealogical methods and sources is only one of several factors that contributed to that success. They will know, for example, how important it is in Welsh research to have some understanding of the social, cultural, religious, and economic background of the communities in which those ancestors lived. This book attempts to broaden that understanding, especially for the period prior to 1800 when most researchers begin to experience difficulties. In addition, it aims to make readers more aware of some little-known sources and the special uses that may be applied to the information found in these sources.

Download or read book Gathering Strays written by Jim Hoy and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2023-02-21 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrated folklorist and author Jim Hoy has spent most of his life living in the heart of the famed Flint Hills of Kansas and documenting and celebrating his fellow Kansans and plains folk. Like rounding up stray cattle in a rolling pasture, Hoy has gathered over a hundred stray stories, tales without a single theme or unified narrative, and corraled them up here for the very first time. Branding these stories in sections like Cattle Towns, Outlaws, and Cowboy Music, Hoy’s vignettes teach, excite, charm, and instill a deep pride in anyone fortunate enough to have lived on the Great Plains. In Gathering Strays, Hoy gives us a collection of stories about Kansas, the Great Plains, and Western life that reflect his life-long love of the land, experience, and history of the region. Hoy introduces us to folks like Elmer McCurdy, a failed train robber whose arsenic-embalmed body went on tour and made money for the undertaker, and Ame Cole, who scolded Russian Grand Duke Alexis on his table manners. Writing as an easygoing storyteller, Hoy covers familiar areas like rodeos and cattle drives, takes us from Dodge City to Beer City and everywhere in between, explains why Kansas has the best state song in the nation, and expands our picture of cowboys with stories of Australian drovers, Black cowboys, and Mexican vaqueros. Throughout, his easy-to-read yet authoritative style describes the people, places, and events that make the region so distinctive and celebrated. Gathering Strays will be hailed by anyone interested in the heroes and villains, towns and ranges, and myths and legends of the West.
