Description

Here's to the Cowboys / Ranching Realities examines two sides of the same story: cowboy poetry and the everyday work of raising cattle. The accordion structure allows the reader to move between these perspectives.

Notes

The book sets romantic language beside practical reality, letting the structure itself carry the contrast.
