“The legend of the American cowboys is kept alive in movies, on television, in advertising, and in books. It is a legend of adventure, of wide open spaces and the sheer joy of independence. But it is more than just a legend, as the pictures in this collection show.
There are cowboys riding the range right now. And though at the end of their day they’re as likely to watch a Western movie on television as count the stars in the sky, they are true to the tradition. These pictures reflect that tradition. They show modern-day cowboys at home and at play. They show how they live, the land that supports them and the children who will probably follow on their footsteps.
Wherever you get your mental image of the American cowboy, these pictures will help you understand what you feel when you think of the incredibly free life cowboys led during the 1870s and 1880s. They will also show you that the spirit is very much alive right now, a century later. Right now, join the men who still live the legend.”
