Product Description

From School Library Journal

Grade 3 Up-This vivid series entry is packed with information and copious illustrations that readers will want to pore over. Murdoch includes a history of cowboys; their preferred horses, saddles, and dress; cattle; and the mystique of the life style. Cowboy also acquaints readers with the gardians of the Camargue in France, South American gauchos, Spanish charros of early Mexico, the "ringers" of the Australian outback, along with the traditional cowboy and cowgirl of the wild American West. Detailed, captioned photographs of artifacts, weapons, and modern equipment used all over the world are taken from museums, private collections, and ranches. This offering is a rich addition to the nonfiction shelves; its brimming but never overly busy pages will fascinate youngsters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended, Aug 20 2010
By 
This review is from: Eyewitness Cowboy (Hardcover)
As usual for a book from the DK Eyewitness series of books, this one is definitely recommended for anyone interested in cowboys and all things related to cowboys. The text, while not talking down to the reader, is comprehensible and there is enough information provided to satisfy most and the text is accompanied by a wonderful selection of photographs and images. These books are geared towards young adults but most will also appeal to adults as they are both educational and informative.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best cowboy book ever!!!!!!!!!, April 7 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Eyewitness Cowboy (Hardcover)
I like this book on Cowboy (Eyewitness Books) & I think it's a cool book & in this book you can see why what an athentic chuckwagon looks like, how an expert ropes a calf, a rodeo rider in action on a wild steer, how a saddle is made & a Mongolian lassoing a wild horse.

Also learn about where wild horses and bulls live in France, why cowboys wear Long Johns, how to tame a bucking bronco, why a gaucho decorates his belt with silver coins.

You can always discover how the cowboy's romantic image influenced music & films & even much, much more ever!!!!

This book reminds me of a video called "Big Comfy Couch: You Can Do it Molly, Black Beauty book illustrated by Susan Jeffers.

This is the best cowboy book ever!!!!!!!!!!!

This is like a new favorite of eyewitness books ever!!!!

I loved this book!!!!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Yee-haw for your eyes, Jan 28 2001
By 
This review is from: Eyewitness Cowboy (Hardcover)
DK eyewitness books are some of the greatest non-fiction books around. The distinctive white background and high-quality photography gives this book an edge over any other cowboy picture book. And -- these pictures are real! They're beautiful photos of historically cowboy/cowgirl things, accompanied by informative captions and text.

Learn about American cowboys in the old west (along with cowboys from a few other cultures). See photos of real cowboy paraphernelia, clothing, weapons, etc.!

If you know someone (young or old) who is fascinated by all things cowboy, then you must introduce them to this book! It's a visual crash course in cowboys, and it's excellent!
