About this title

Synopsis

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.

Review

Smith is to range-land photography what Mathew Brady was to Civil War photography. Every student of the West should savor this book and every library with a serious emphasis on Western Americana should purchase it.... Along with Andy Adams, Philip Ashton Rollins, Ross Santee, and the artist Charles M. Russell, Erwin Smith belongs in the great tradition of interpreters of the real cowboy.
