Description
This is a comparative study of the social history and mythology of cowboy culture right across the Western Hemisphere, from Patagonia to the Yukon, including the unique cowboys of the Hawaiian cattle industry. Slatta argues that Spanish influence, neglected in most accepted historiography, is primary in all open-range cattle frontiers of North and South America. His focus is on people, working ranch hands, and how they lived their lives, quoting frequently from first-hand descriptions of cowboy and ranch life.,Googlebooks.
