$10 Horse, $40 Saddle: Cowboy Clothing, Arms, Tools and Horse Gear of the 1880's

Rating:
Summary: Extremely basic. Best for young kids.
Review: I was looking for a reference book with names, makers, pictures, etc. This book is very basic and appears to be aimed toward a young reader.

Rating:
Summary: An excellent quick reference; Wonderful illustrations
Review: This book was originally published in the mid seventies; it is nice to have a reprint available. Interiewing old cowboys in the 1950's, the author gained a great deal of primary source material in regards to what types of clothing and equipment were used. A great deal of drawings appear throughout the text. This book depicts the cowboy at his most practical. A good book, though a tad expensive.
