Since the book was discovered about fifteen years ago, enterprising bookscouts have canvassed the family and area tirelessly without turning up a copy. " In 1968 Streeter's annotation was: "Renick born in 1804, and his father George Renick had much to do with cattle and the cattle trade in the first half of the 19th century. This work is a compilation of articles, many of them on cattle, written for various publications. The most important article is “Cattle and the Cattle Trade” written for the 1860 U.S. census. As given here, it includes many footnotes added by Renick. The Memoirs was written for private circulation among the family and is quite rare.---TWS." Also see Coyle, page 522: "His family were the founders of the beef-cattle industry in the United States. In 1804-05 his father, George, was the first to drive a herd of fat cattle over the Alleghenies to the Eastern market. In 1833 the Renicks organized a group of men in Ohio and Kentucky to buy from England the best of the improved cattle of that country. In 1853 William bought the first drove of cattle to be driven north from Texas. " Condition: Modest handling wear and few scuffs but complete, sound and clean. The added portraits have simply been tipped-in at the front. The erratum slip is present. There are a few genealogical notes/chart penciled on a rear blank page.
