This book opens a door to a way of life in America that is rapidly
disappearing, that of the American cowboy. It portrays items used by
cowboy ancestors and presents a glimpse of what life was like in the
heyday of riding the range and trailing big cattle drives. Containing
over 500 photos of cowboy bits, spurs, saddles, boots, and weapons, it
also displays beautiful Native American beadwork and design. These old
cowboy items continue to be more valuable each year as collectors of
antique cowboy equipment grow in numbers. The equipment displayed here
brings the cowboy's way of life to each of us who treasure the ways of
the American Wild West.
