Experience a rare and intimate glimpse into the life of cowboys in the American West with this captivating collection of vintage photography. In 1903, photographer Frank Sherman ventured to Hugo, Colorado, where his brothers worked at the Holt Livestock Co., to photograph a cattle roundup. His timing couldn’t have been better—President Theodore Roosevelt made an unexpected stop during his western tour, and Sherman captured it all.
These images, nearly lost to time, were rescued and preserved by John Eggen, who has now compiled them in this powerful photographic tribute to cowboy life. A follow-up to the acclaimed The West That Was, this volume presents previously unpublished photographs that highlight the day-to-day work, spirit, and grit of cowboys in the early 20th century.
Whether you're a Western history enthusiast, cowboy culture collector, or a fan of early photography, Cowboys is a striking visual record of the Old West, its landscapes, and its people.
