Laurence M. Lasater

$34.95 Buy | El Vaquero Real
The Original American Cowboy
John Dyer
The Vaquero was in Texas before there was a Texas. They came north from Mexico with the big Spanish land grants of the 18th century. Descended from a long, illustrious line of mounted riders, the Vaquero can trace his ancestry many hundreds of years ago to the North African riders of Morocco, to the original Vaqueros in Spain, and to Mexico. When Captain King and other early ranchers came into South Texas and began amassing huge swathes of land, it was the Vaquero who enabled him to go into the cattle business. It was the Vaquero who taught the Anglo cowboy everything he needed to know about cattle and horses. ... More » | | | |  Hard Cover
