description: With 168 color photographs, Cowboy Island captures the natural and cultural heart of Santa Rosa Island and its century-old cattle ranch, Vail &amp; Vickers, from the rugged sweep of wind-whipped, maritime landscapes to the rich humanity of isolated, hard-working vaqueros. Prose by Gretel Ehrlich and photographs by Wm. B. Dewey and others open a window to California's last cattle-ranch-in-the-sea.
