These are not the pretty photographs of a romanticized people who occupy a perceived West you might expect.These are photographs of real people who deal with the hard realities of running real cow ranches in the high Rocky Mountains of Montana decade after decade; the people who do the calving and branding, the haying and herding and fencing, be it well over 100 degrees or 40 degrees below zero.Embodied in these photographs is the true Montana.The 50 portraits in this book portray these people as only Robert Osborn can; as images that are as tough and honest and gritty as the cowboy or cowgirl depicted.Seeing, living, and breathing the art of photography is what and who Robert Osborn is; and is vividly portrayed in this beautiful book.These 50 portraits are enduring and timeless works of art.

"Tracing the story of Red Lodge from the 1880s to the present, Christensen tells how a mining town managed to endure the vagaries of the West's unpredictable extractive-industries economy. She connects Red Lodge to a myriad of larger events and historical forces to show how national and regional influences have contributed to the development of local identities, exploring how and why westerners first rejected and then embraced "western" images, and how ethnicity, wilderness, and historic preservation became part of the identity that defined one town."--BOOK JACKET.

The rodeo cowboy is one of the most evocative images of the Wild West. The master of the frontier, he is renowned for his masculinity, toughness, and skill. A Wilder West returns to rodeo's small-town roots to explore how rodeo simultaneously embodies and subverts our traditional understandings of power relations between man and nature, women and men, settlers and Aboriginal peoples. An important contact zone – a chaotic and unpredictable place of encounter – rodeo has challenged expected social hierarchies, bringing people together across racial and gender divides to create friendships, rivalries, and unexpected intimacies. At the rodeo, Aboriginal riders became local heroes, and rodeo queens spoke their minds. A Wilder West complicates the idea of western Canada as a “white man's country” and shows how rural rodeos have been communities in which different rules applied. Lavishly illustrated, this creative history will change the way we see the West's most controversial sport.

He sees rodeo as a significant American folk festival and the rodeo cowboy as the surviving avatar of a nearly vanished authentic figure - the real cowboy, who embodies the skills and values of traditional western rural culture.
