Cowboys & Buckaroos: Trade Secrets Of A North American Icon

Information packed on everything you need to know about all things cowboy! Easy and enjoyable to read. You won't feel like a tenderfoot in the bunkhouse after reading this.

There are three things that make this book a great buy. First is the detailed knowledge of technique and life style being offered to the reader. I found this book to be very informative not only from a practicle skills point of view but also from being very informative about the types of work (confinement, small ranch and large ranch) and the regional differences in the work. Second is the easy, breezy story tellin' writing style of Tim O'Byrne. He is a pleasure to read and teaches many things without you being aware of the lesson. Lastly, the production quality of the book is exactly what you'd expect from a Western Horseman publication. High quality paper, binding, printing, and photography make this book an excellent value. Thank you Tim and Western Horseman.

I ordered this for my husband. He is a rancher and loves reading. This book was 5 stars to him

A very informative look into the every day going ons of the modern cowboy that covers everything from heard handling and care to horse handling and care you even get a glimpse into the modern cowboy lifestyle. This is an excellent book from Western Horseman magazine with beautiful photography and is well written and easy to follow a must for anybody who is a cowboy aficionado or wanting to be one.

An excellent reference for greenhorns and leathery old Cowboys alike and a fun read with Tim's abundant anecdotes from his cowboy years.Arch Gibson, author, Crossing the Red - A Bear Kotah Novel

Indispensable for new cowboys

This book is fun and easy to read. Answers any question you can think up. It's going on my "keeper" shelf.

An excellent book portraying the techniques and methods used by cowboys throughout the decades. Well written and nice selection of pictures showing how things are to be done. I am learning a lot.

A good read

Un bon moyen de mieux connaitre les cowboys. Il décrit bien ce qu'est un cowboy de nos jours, et explique bien le travail dans un ranch.Le style de l'auteur est plaisant. L'ouvrage est bien illustrée et de bonne facture, comme tout les livres de "western horseman".
