The Last Cowboys at the End of the World: The Story of the Gauchos of Patagonia

Rating:
Summary: Admiration
Review: This really is a remarkable book, a close examination of isolated lives, with considerable risks taken by the author. The austerities of gaucho life are amazingly offset by the lavish inventions of their language, herewith captured by a fine writer. The pompous locutions by the nincompoop from Bethesda, Maryland should not mislead prospective readers.
