Randolph, Edmund, 1903-

Edmund Randolph left Princeton University for Wyoming in 1924 and in 1925 took a homestead near Birney, Montana. He entered the livestock business with Albert G. Brown, forming the Brown-Randolph Cattle Company, 1924-1929. During the 1930s, he worked as a Wall Street stock broker with Walter Price. In 1940 Randolph returned to his homestead in Birney and formed a partnership with Matthew Tschirgi (the Antler Cattle Company, 1940-1951). Randolph and Tschirgi planned a cattle operation in Chihuahua, Mexico, and took on another investor, Prince Adolph von Schwarzenberg. Randolph sold his interest to Tschirgi in 1952 and retired to Denver where he began a career as an author. He wrote "Hell among the Yearlings" (1955), as well as articles and book reviews. In 1981 "Beef, Leather, and Grass" was published, which deals with his experience in cattle ranching.
