This book focuses on the reality of the cowboy's life. Here you will find the artifacts that were essential to life in the west. They include rifles, pistols, saddles, clothing boots, hats and gun rigs.

While these items are becoming increasingly scarce, much of the equipment and clothing shown here can still be found at reasonable prices, if one is willing to search the antique shops, the flea markets, and tag sales. Surprisingly, collectors are as likely to find it in the East as in the West.

For the lover of the Old West and the Collector of its artifacts, this is a wonderful book that helps make an era come alive. A price guide is included. 81/2" x 11". 446 color photos. 160 pp. Paperbound.
