Vaqueros America's First Cowmen

(Martin W. Sandler). This book gives a history of the true first American cowmen, the Vaquero. Chapters give insight to the men who were wholly dedicated to their craft; how they could tell time by the stars, what they ate, how they worked stock. When stories of cowboys were made into books, plays, movies, and TV shows, vaqueros were forgotten. Martin Sandler has dug through archives, spoken with experts, and found more than sixty glorious images of vaqueros from the past and present. Now all of us can get to know these true American heroes. Hardcover, 6" x 9", 117 pages.
