The Cowboy Boot: History, Art, Culture, Function (Cowboy Gear Series)
Cowboy boots are an undying symbol of the American West. The supple, weathered leather speaks of the hard work and long, dusty days of the true cowboy. Boots take on a certain personality as they age and are often the most well-worn and personalized item a cowboy owns. Styles, colors, and usage vary widely across different areas and cultures.Each pair of boots tells a different story in this new book of photographs. This is the third volume in David R. Stoecklein's series on cowboy gear. Shirl Woodson's text traces the evolution of the cowboy boot from its early influences to present-day fashion trends.
