HIST 2301 TJCT Charles Goodnight Sales Sucess Discussion

I need help with a History question. All explanations and answers will be used to help me learn.

Cattlemen constitute a colorful and significant segment of Texas and the American West. Separating fact from fiction has led to larger than life myths associated with cowboys and ranching. For this discussion you will need to identify a person or factor that you believe most contributed to the “boom,” or rise of the cattle industry, and a person or factor that led to its’ decline, or “bust.” Respond to at least two fellow students’ posts and add to the discussion of their choices.
