I See By Your Outfit: Historic Cowboy Gear of the Northern Plains
Tom Lindmier & Steve Mount
No Hollywood flim-flam or arty photographic re-creation here. Lindmier and
Mount
demonstrate through the use of historic photographs what actual working
cowboys of the Northern Plains wore and what equipment they used from the 1870s
until 1928.
These cowboys may not look like the ones in the movies, but you can bet your boots they are the real thing.
The authors researched chaps, spurs, boots, and even underwear. Chapters cover saddles and horse gear as well as wagons.
Over 120 historic photos and illustrations.
“Tom Lindmier and Steve Mount…spent countless
hours in public and private collections reviewing photographs, artifacts,
and other sources.… ?The
years of diligent research resulted in a well-documented and profusely illustrated
book. …This publication is a must for those interested in the cowboy
as he appeared in the northern Great Plains.”
