5.0 out of 5 stars A great illustrated cowboy story/history for all ages, October 5, 2009

This review is from: The Book of Cowboys (Hardcover)

The beautiful full page color illustrations alone make this a value.
The simple pre-triple R story is fact filled and fascinating.
Loaded with page border artwork, too, but the full page ones (5) are
dated, which is a compliment, and eternally beautiful with John Held grandiousity and color yet less stylistic.
Easy reading, but at, really, a level that presupposes that you are relatively well read for your age, I might say, and you love cowboy and ranch and old West lore.
I am pleased my wife found it in a thrift shop.

We follow a young brother and sister as they're taken to spend a summer with their uncle on a working ranch out west. They learn a great deal about the real life of cowboys, about horses, cattle, wildlife, etc. A worthy companion to the author's book on Indians.
