Making a Hand - Growing Up Cowboy in New Mexico

A photographic tribute to the newest generation of cowboys groing up in New Mexico. Boys and girls from fifty ranching families representing diverse cultural backgrounds are photographed as they work cattle from horseback, perform routine ranch chores, and compete in rodeos.

Summary

Ranching families reflect a deeply rooted agricultural tradition the day-to-day workings of which have changed little over generations. Many of these children are accomplished farm hands by the age of six or seven and contributing members of the family business. This book offers a tribute to the generation of ranchers growing up in New Mexico.
