From droving to driving, reivers to rustlers, heilan kye to long horns, Plaids and Bandanas explores the links between the two cattle cultures in music, song and dance, and folklore. The vast number of Scots who emigrated to North America has been well documented, whether through forcible eviction during the clearances of the 18th and 19th centuries or voluntarily in the hope of a better life. With them they took their culture, their language, their music and their skills. Cattle droving in Scotland was an established profession from the 16th century, and many such migrants took cowboy jobs in the American West. The medium of music paints a vivid picture of their social and personal lives and the exchange was not all one way. The music crossed and re-crossed the Atlantic creating strong links between the old culture and the new. Lonely men in strange surroundings found comfort in songs that reminded them of home.

During the prosperous, forward-thinking era after the Second World War, a growing number of men, women, and children across the United States were wearing fashions that evoked the Old West. Westernwear: Postwar American Fashion and Culture examines why a sartorial style with origins in 19th-century agrarian traditions continued to be worn at a time when American culture sought balance between technocratic confidence in science and technology on one side, and fear and anxiety over global annihilation on the other. By analysing well-known and rarely considered western manufacturers, Westernwear revises the common perception that fashionable innovation came from the East coast and places western youth cultures squarely back in the picture. The book connects the history of American working class dress with broader fashionable trends and discusses how and why Native American designs and representations of Native American people were incorporated broadly and inconsistently into the western visual vocabulary. Setting westernwear firmly in context, Sonya Abrego addresses the incorporation of this iconic style into postwar wardrobes and popular culture, and charts the evolution of westernwear into a modern fashion phenomenon.
In 1904, Eugene J. TenBrink, a second-generation immigrant from the Dutch enclave of West Michigan, traveled to the Great Plains to see the "American West" for himself. He found work with a bonanza farm in Mayville, North Dakota; a cattle ranch in Miles City, Montana; and a sheepherding outfit outside of Sheridan, Wyoming. Although seemingly mundane and unremarkable, Eugene *lived* the tremendous social, economic, and technological changes that were occurring throughout the United States in the decades surrounding the turn of the 20th century. Farm laborer, ranch hand, sheep foreman, and cowpuncher were roles Eugene filled during his time out West (1904-1910) and through which his life gives us insights into a country undergoing profound transformation.
