{"product_id":"9781941813058","title":"Controlled Recklessness: Ed Lemmon and the Open Range","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1857 into a hardworking and resilient family, George Edward (\"Ed\") Lemmon balanced reckless risk-taking and controlled management to shape the development of the cattle industry. Despite several crippling accidents on horseback, Lemmon achieved what few cowboys could: an ownership stake in one of the largest outfits on the Northern Great Plains. As the open range disappeared, he helped to transform the region from a network of worn, dusty cattle trails to one of towns linked by railroads. In Controlled Recklessness, author Nathan Sanderson uses Lemmon's own vibrant accounts and historical records to form a comprehensive look at Lemmon's colorful life and his perspective as both a cowboy and a cattleman.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Dakota State Historical Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060035731696,"sku":"9781941813058","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781941813058_p0.jpg?v=1763756695","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781941813058","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
