Fort Worth has long been known as ""Cowtown.” In this crisp study, Harold Rich makes clear how that nickname came about and how the city owed its early prosperity to two economic forces: the railroads and the stockyards. Anyone interested in Fort Worth or urban history will find this story compelling."" - Ron Tyler, former Director of the Texas State Historical Association and author of Alfred Jacob Miller: Artist on the Oregon Trail

""Harold Rich’s fine book, an economic history of Fort Worth, focuses on the years 1880-1920… [and] emphasizes the importance of the railroads, the meatpacking industry, and Fort Worth’s military activity. This commendable book, written with clarity and finesse, is full of surprising tidbits and fascinating vignettes."" - Central Texas Studies: Journal of the Central Texas Historical Association Volume 1 and Volume 2
