Brooks Blevins not only relates the development and importance of the industry to agricultural practices but also presents it as an integral component of southern history, inextricably linked to issues of sectional politics, progressivism, race and class struggles, and rural depopulation. Most historians believe cattle were first introduced by the Spanish explorers and missionaries during the early decades of the 16th century. 606 $aCattle$zAlabama$xHistory 615 0$aCattle$xHistory. 676 $a636.2/009761 700 $aBlevins$b Brooks$f1969-$01472539 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778832303321 996 $aCattle in the cotton fields$93849161 997 $aUNINA
