Book Review

Vaqueros, Cowboys, and Buckaroos. By Lawrence Clayton, Jim Hoy, and Jerald Underwood. (Austin: University of Texas Press, 2001. xvii + 274 pp. Illustrations, chart, glossary, index. $40.00, cloth; $19.95, paper.)

Vaqueros, Cowboys, and Buckaroos is a comparative analysis of the three traditions of mounted herdsmen in the North American cattle industry based on how each performed their work, dressed, and lived; the book also looks at their customs and speech. The results identified much in the three that was common, but also much that was unique. To aid the uninitiated, the authors made liberal use of photographs and included a glossary of terms, as well as a chart of comparative characteristics.
