- Summary:
- In the early 1970s, Bill Wittliff photographed vaqueros on a ranch in northern Mexico as they went about daily chores that had changed little since the first Mexican cowherders learned to work cattle from a horse's back. In the tradition of the great cowboy photographer Erwin Smith, Wittliff captured a way of life that now exists only in memory and in the pages of this book. 95 photographs.
