Beasley's Vaqueros - The Memoirs, Art, and Poems of Ricardo M. Beasley

"Beasley's Vaqueros presents the life and work of South Texas artist Ricardo M. Beasley, whose vibrant pen-and-ink sketches captured the world of vaquero life in South Texas. Despite having lived much of his life after World War II, Beasley's art and words capture a world in which people and events from decades before his time are just as immediate-perhaps even more so-than events of the present day. More than just a testament to the talents of a singular, self-taught artist, Beasley's Vaqueros is a record of vaquero life in South Texas that spans the centuries"--
