Brand Inspectors reveal in author John McPhee's short story the facts about brands (how to design, read, register) and use branding irons on free-roaming privately owned cattle and horses. John McPhee names names: true stories about cattle rustlers (Casey, Simpson, Hooper, Loper, Stewart, and Lee families); victims (Sharp brothers), and adventures of the gun-totin' Inspectors (Collis, Nevin, Hanks) trying to prevent, catch and prosecute them, and $1500 rewards for assisting. Many brand examples, including that of the Duckwater Shoshone. The Nevada Livestock Brand Book; cattle bidding today by satellite, and dirty deeds by the rustlers. The 1997 book tells how it still is today (2021). 56 pages. Also, essays, same book: Release (bio, blind writer Bob Russell); In Virgin Desert (saving primeval woods in the U.S.); The Gravel Page (criminal scene investigators solve crimes using forensic geography of rocks); Duty of Care (Calif. valley's used tires, piled 6 stories high); Renard at Manheim (auctions of exotic cars); and Travels of the Rock (interesting history of Plymouth Rock of Mayflower fame). McPhee writes like he's telling you a story and you're spellbound. And it's all true.
