One of the earliest guides to breaking horses by one of America's greatest horse tamers. J.S. Rarey was born in Grovesport, Ohio in 1827. His father raised horses, and by the age of twelve Rarey could tame virtually any wild horse. Across the country he gained a reputation as a horse tamer, and in 1856 he published this little book on the subject. In 1857, Rarey went to England, where he made his fame and fortune. He returned to America in 1860, bringing Cruiser, a notorious maniac that he had tamed. At the age of thirty-nine Rarey died, having made his name as one of the greatest horse trainers in American history.
In mid-1970's Brenda M. Negri quit a job as a gallop girl for Thoroughbreds at Oregon's Portland Meadows Race Track and headed east, determined to follow livelong obsessive as a working buckaroo. It was a time where women rarely if ever, were found buckaroo full time for a living unless they were born into a ranching family, dating a cowboy, or married into it. Negri had no such entrée through kin or insider connection. Alone, driving hundreds of miles while sleeping alone at night, she brazenly knocked on ranch doors asking and begging for a buckaroo job as she wandered across two states. Given a chance on a cattle feedlot in Idaho, from there she went on to work for ranches in Nevada, Oregon, Idaho and California. She knew, met, worked for and with legendary cowmen and buckaroos and a colorful cast of characters, some of who could have stepped out of the paces of a John Ford Western script or a Damon Runyon novel. The Big Out There: A Buckaroo Life in Words and Art is a nostalgic, gritty, titillating collection of vignettes, tributes and memories of life based on Negri's experiences with the people, the places and the mystique of a working buckaroo life. Documenting years Negri worked horses, cattle and ranches from 1977-1989 and beyond, accompanied by her whimsical sketches, The Big Out There reverently pays homage to a tough yet romantic, almost otherworldly time and the legendary people in it during the final years of big cow outfits running on the deserts and mountains. It is a rare peek into a place and a time, where working Vaqueros and buckaroos with "a flip kind of wildness" worked and roamed over the ION Country (Idaho, Oregon, Nevada) and the Pacific Slope of California. Negri's first book from September 17, 2018, The Way of The Pack: Understanding and Living With Livestock Guardian Dogs, has sold hundreds of copies; her book has been seen in movies, You Tubes, several magazines, international writings, numerous photographs and included in four famous dog films.

An essential addition to any collection of Western art and Americana, The Life and Times of Jo Mora provides an in-depth biography of this gifted illustrator, painter, writer, cartographer, and sculptor. Jo Mora (1876–1947) lived the Western life he depicted in his prolific body of visual art, comprising sculpture, paintings, architectural adornments, dioramas, and maps. He explored California Missions, the natural glories of Yosemite, California’s ranch life, and eventually the culture of the Hopi and Navajo in Arizona. During his travels, Mora documented observations that became the source material and inspiration for much of his later artwork. The magnitude of Mora’s insights into his life and work, as described in his own words—many presented here in this book—cannot be underestimated. Jo Mora’s many diaries, journals, and literary efforts reveal an intellectual discernment, originality, and humor that enhance our appreciation of his work. Remarkably, throughout his life Mora supported his family solely through a series of art commissions that ranged from restaurant murals to heroic-scale sculpture. He welcomed risks and challenges, was unafraid of hard work, and did nearly everything well, from writing children’s stories to commanding an army battalion-in-training to shooting mountain lions. Ever modest, he seemed to think that this versatility was nothing extraordinary. Peter Hiller’s thoughtful presentation of Jo Mora’s life is seen here in all of its creative glory.
Born in Uruguay in 1876, Jo Mora worked with and observed cowboys and vaqueros from Canada to the tierra caliente for more than half a century. In Trail Dust and Saddle Leather he presents in authentic lingo and detailed drawings the real-life cowboy's daily chores and chow, clothing and equipment, and ways with critters and steeds.
