Leroy Webb represent the vanishing era of the open-range cowboy. For six decades he has rounded up, roped, chased, wrestled, and cajoled cattle while riding over vast ranchlands and sleeping under the stars in New Mexico and Texas. He has tirelessly worked to breed, train, and show horses while keeping up with the rodeo circuit. His life has been a life of satisfying hard work, from sunup to sundown—a way of life that will disappear when he and his generation are gone. Magnificent photographs, many by internationally renowned photographer Gray Hawn, blend with the story to create an unequivocal collector’s item.
The Last Cowboy is a glorious tribute to men in the saddle who have proved themselves as some of the strongest fibers in the fabric of American tradition.
