First Published in 1952, this photographic record of the real work and life of cowboys remains a perennial favorite. Erwin E. Smith was the outstanding cowboy photographer of the West, and these eighty photographs were among those he chose for an exhibit of his best work at the 1936 Texas Centennial. The text by J. Evetts Haley, a noted historian of the range, skillfully complements Smith's visual record of a vanishing way of life. 20011213. Ranch life. Rangelands. Cowboys. Cattle. Texas. The M.K.
