Horses and Cattle, and a Double-Rigged Saddle

This book captures the history and traditions of cowboys and ranchers in the American West. Where else can you read about hat etiquette, the contents of a good range repair kit, or the essentials of a comfortable round-up bed? It shares stories from the lives of range heroes who illustrate the essentials of living well, including the importance of honesty, hard work, and keeping your promises. Zimmer writes from a lifetime of study and firsthand experience as one who lives and works in the West. Dozens of rare historical photos and illustrations bring these stories to life.
