A Cowman’s Chronicle
Laurence M. Lasater
In the first autobiography written by a major player in the current generation of cattlemen and women, Laurence Lasater tells just what it takes to survive in a mythologized yet rapidly changing industry. A descendant of two of America's great pioneer ranching clans, the Lasaters and the Matthews/Reynolds. Laurie has continued and added to his family's traditions of integrity, innovation and willingness to take risks.

Against that backdrop, it recounts the Lasaters' struggle to survive and prosper... More » | | | |  Hard Cover

True Tales from Long X, Long S, and Spade Ranches
Doris McClellan
A cowboy employs the English language like nobody else. Inventive and subtle as a Shakespeare, he can sure “turn a phrase” to make his story rich and lively. Author Doris McClelland, from her vantage point of 31 years of making the venerable Ellwood Spade headquarters house her home, has found herself the keeper of a trove of such oral artifacts. In Cowboys Cowgirls Cowchips she records what she has gathered around the chuck wagon, across the tailgate of a pickup, and around her kitchen table, and all these reports on cowboy life are gospel truth. The collection of snippets, reports and anecdotes... More » | | | |  Hard Cover

Documenting the 21st-century working cowboy in Revealing Character, renowned photographer Robb Kendrick has used the historical ferrotype or “tintype” method of photography—and allows each cowboy or cattlewoman to speak...

Ironclad Signatures
Jane Pattie
In the American West, cattle rustling was a killing offense and the cattle brand a rancher’s inviolable mark of ownership. Today, as for 4,000 years, mankind has used branding to mark private property. Branding iron art, historically and across many cultures, has featured common symbols such as moon and star, pitchfork or heart, letters or digits, with bars or slashes to render them lazy, flying, or rocking. Cattleman Leonard Stiles, during his career with the legendary Texas King Ranch, collected over 1,000 branding irons. These clever, rustic, and artistic “iron signatures” appear as detailed drawings in Cattle Brands... More » |
