Description
By the late nineteenth century, Americans, both rich and poor, had come to expect high-quality fresh beef with almost every meal. Beef production in the United States transformed from small-scale, localised operations to a highly centralised industry spanning the country.
This book tells the remarkable story of the violent conflict over who would reap the benefits of this new industry and who would bear its heavy costs. Joshua Specht brings to life a turbulent era marked by Indian wars, Chicago labour unrest, and food riots in the streets of New York.
A compelling and unfailingly enjoyable read, Red Meat Republic reveals the complex history of exploitation and innovation behind the food we consume today.
