About this product
Product Information
In the late nineteenth century, the Texas Rangers and Canada's North-West Mounted Police were formed to bring the resource-rich hinterlands at either end of the Great Plains under governmental control. Native and rural peoples often found themselves squarely in the path of this westward expansion and the law enforcement agents that led the way. Though separated by nearly two thousand miles, the Rangers and Mounties performed nearly identical functions, including subjugating Indigenous groups; dispossessing peoples of mixed ancestry; defending the property of big cattlemen; and policing industrial disputes. Yet the means by which the two forces achieved these ends sharply diverged; while the Rangers often relied on violence, the Mounties usually exercised restraint, a fact that highlights some of the fundamental differences between the U.S. and Canadian Wests. Policing the Great Plains presents the first comparative history of the two most famous constabularies in the world. Andrew R. Graybill is an assistant professor of history at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX.

Reviews
"By identifying the common threads that unite the histories of the Rangers and Mounties, as well as the disparate strands that set them apart, Graybill's study underscores the value of comparative history."-Michel Hogue, Great Plains Quarterly, "The is much to be learned by Graybill''s comparative approach not only about police units but about frontier governments and the emergence of plains statehood. This is an enjoyable study, easy to read and well worth the investment. It should be on the shelves of every western American historian."-Gary Clayton, Montana, the Magazine of Western History, "In this model of comparative history, Andrew R. Graybill gives us a sweeping new look, smart and insightful, at two frontier institutions heavily encrusted with legend and lore. Through his eyes the Rangers and Mounties teach us plenty, paradoxically, about both the different characters of their two emerging nations and a common process of modern state-making."-Elliott West, author of TheContested Plains: Indians, Goldseekers, and the Rush to Colorado, "This lively, engaging history throws new light on old myths by comparing two icons of the North American West. The book will appeal to all readers with an interest in the connected past of the Great Plains that Canada and the U.S. share."--Sarah Carter, author of "Capturing Women: The Manipulation of Cultural Imagery in Canada''s Prairie West", "Relevant issues, fascinating changes, solid research, and insightful views make this work one that will help quiet a perennial question: What ever happened to frontier history?"-Richard A. Van Orman, Journal of American History, "[Graybill''s] work emerges as one of the most carefully crafted examples of comparative and transnational history published in recent years, and it stands as a model study for the other frontier law enforcement agencies around the world."-Michael L. Tate, Journal of Military History, "By identifying the common threads that unite the histories of the Rangers and Mounties, as well as the disparate strands that set them apart, Graybill''s study underscores the value of comparative history."-Michel Hogue, Great Plains Quarterly, "[Graybill's] work emerges as one of the most carefully crafted examples of comparative and transnational history published in recent years, and it stands as a model study for the other frontier law enforcement agencies around the world."-Michael L. Tate, Journal of Military History, "Admirably clear, concise, and humane, this is the kind of comparative and transnational history that many historians have called for, but few have written."--David J. Weber, author of "Barbaros: Spaniards and Their Savages in the Age of Enlightenment" "", "The is much to be learned by Graybill's comparative approach not only about police units but about frontier governments and the emergence of plains statehood. This is an enjoyable study, easy to read and well worth the investment. It should be on the shelves of every western American historian."-Gary Clayton, Montana, the Magazine of Western History, "Graybill may be an academic, but his accessible and breezy writing style is anything but. Policing the Great Plains should have popular appeal on both sides of the 49th parallel and will challenge widely held beliefs. It is thoroughly researched, amply endnoted, and contains an extensive bibliography of primary and secondary sources."-Mark Dworkin, Wild West Historical Association Journal
