The cowboy at work

by Fay E. Ward

About 280 pages, this Dover publication is crammed with information and many drawings on what went into life of a cowboy. From chuck wagons to saddles, roping, branding, etc. Though lacking in photos, the drawings better show the variations on how tasks were done. Typical quality work from the Dover catalog, this highlights life of a profession as it was up to the '50s.
