Description

For everything cowboy and Wild West, look no further. The Cowboy Way is a tribute to the classic image of old-time lore and its influence on popular culture. You thought that you knew cowboys, but did you know: - The cowboy can trace his roots back to the Spanish vaquero traditions of Mexico - Cowboys are credited for offering such folkloric wisdom as: "Always saddle your own horse" and "Never trust a man who agrees with you - he's probably wrong" - Annie Oakley was likely America's first superstar; she was a sharpshooter who became famous for her role in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show

Contributor Notes

Duane S. Radford is a multi-award winning writer and photographer. He was born in Blairmore, Alberta but grew up in Bellevue, both small towns in the Crowsnest Pass. It was there he first got his taste of the cowboy life at nearby ranches, riding horses, bailing hay in the blistering sun, building and mending fences and doing farm chores. He is currently the Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Outdoor Writers of Canada. When he isn’t writing or taking photographs, Duane spends much of his time outdoors hunting and fly-fishing. He and his wife, Adrienne currently live in Edmonton, Alberta.
