From 1981 to 1983, Jay Dusard traveled throughout western North America, riding with working cowboys, vaqueros and buckaroos, photographing them with his 8x10 view camera. In all, he covered 25,000 miles, working at about 45 ranches in Canada, Mexico and the United States. The resulting photographs depict with clairity, honesty and beauty the men and women of the range while avoiding the tendency many photographers have to reduce them to a series of visual and cultural cliches. Dusard, shares his experiences while working on this project in detailed notes, while the book's text discusses the various types of cowboys.
