18871661London 1887. Very good plus. Three printed documents varying sizes 14pp. total. Light wear along folds. Light tanning. One document in a red cloth folding case. An interesting group of three printed documents concerning the Powder River Cattle Company in Wyoming. The manager of the company Morton Frewen was the scion of Anglo-English gentry and came to the Wyoming Territory in 1878 to seek his fortune establishing one of the larger cattle concerns on the Northern Great Plains in what is now northeastern Wyoming with additional holdings in Alberta. In 1882 the company was reorganized as the joint-stock Powder River Cattle Company Ltd. with an English board of directors and investors. Frewen served as manager until 1886 when controversy ensued with charges of false statements of losses due to overstocked pastures and harsh winter. The present group includes Frewen's report to the first annual meeting of the company as well a defense in an 1886 lawsuit between Frewen and the directors of Powder River and an 1887 profit-and-loss statement composed by the company's liquidator. In full they are as follows: <br /><br />1 The Powder River Cattle Company Limited Report of the General Manager. at the first Annual General Meeting Held February 26th 1884.
