It contributes to the existing new historiography of the American West by looking more critically at the Basque immigrant experience in the open-range sheep industry of Nevada.

Trade Review
"This is a story that is simultaneously transnational and intensely local. Historians of the American West are deeply indebted to this fine young historian."— Steven M. Avella, professor of history, Marquette University, Milwaukee
"Iker Saiatua provides a fresh perspective on the story of Basque migration to the American West. His painstaking research uncovers new source material and applies current race and labor historiography, while personal anecdotes tie it all together."
— John Bieter, author of An Enduring Legacy: The Story of Basques in Idaho
