For a brief interlude in American history between the passing of the Indian

and the buffalo and the entry of the farmer and the barbed-wire fence, the

Great Plains witnessed the most picturesque industrial drama ever staged – the drama

Line of the open range and the cattle ranch If the Southern planter could once claim

(5) that cotton was king, the Western cattleman could proclaim with equal fervor

that grass was king For the time being, at least, the plains were one limitless,

fenceless, gateless pasture of rich, succulent, and ownerless grass that was there

for the taking Within an incredibly short period the herds of bison had been

replaced and outnumbered by the herds of cattle

(10) This vast expanse of grassland, populated mainly by longhorn cattle

and hardworking cowboys, became the domain of a group of entrepreneurs who

decided that they could make money in cattle These were the hardheaded

businessmen who built the Western livestock industry They were known as the

cattle barons, a term they detested, and they ruled enormous fields that as of 1883

(15) held half of the West’s 23 million cows

In background these businessmen varied widely A would-be baron often started as a cowboy himself – perhaps one of the men who had drifted into the brushlands after fighting in the Texas Revolution of 1836 Or he might be a refugee from a burned-out farm in the Old South Or he might be an Easterner

(20) seeking a new life and fortune on the frontier In any case, he was likely to be an

adventurous man, accustomed to hard work and violence and ready for both

as a berry Although most varieties of peppers produce red fruits (which are green in their immature stage), there are some yellow-fruited varieties, and

peppers are of both mild and pungent types Peppers enjoy warm climates, and young plants can be injured by frosts Seasonings such as paprika and chili

(30) powder and food products such as canned pimentos are commercial uses of

garden peppers that are grown in the United States today
