Western Boots

Like we said, we are a Texas company and therefore, you have to love cowboy boots! These shelves are filled with books about the romance and art of the cowboy or cowgirl and his/her boots.

The Cowboy Boot Book
by Tyler Beard, Jim Arndt (Photographer)

Wearing cowboy boots can be a fashionable whimsy or a statement of identification with the American Western tradition. The author and the photographer, both avid wearers and collectors of cowboy boots, have produced an engagingly written introduction to an article of dress that evolved from the strictly utilitarian into a unique American folk art.

Cowgirls
David R. Stoecklein
 

Photographer Stoecklein presents some of his favorite photos to celebrate the American cowgirl's beauty, skill, and love of horses. Complementing his images are articles that reflect the cowgirl spirit and lifestyle and reveal their thoughts on what it means to be a cowgirl, what they enjoy most about their lifestyle, and what they love about cowboys.
