Summary: A wonderful comprehesnsive book
Comment: This book is all you could hope for in the truth about vaqueros, cowboys, and buckaroos. These authors have done a wonderful job compiling all the true facts about these three similar, but not exactly a-like groups. This a must for anyone ineretsed in expanding your knoweleg. It is perfect for research or just fun. I would never part with my copy, and I wish I could have owned it sooner. Don't waste your time with other more falshy books, this is the only one you'll need.

Summary: Good Idea-Big Disapointment
Comment: The idea behind this book is very good. A comparative history of vaqueros, cowboys and buckaroos is needed. These three groups share much in common but they are nevertheless historically distinct. I was hoping to understand the uniquess of each experience by learning about the common threads that tie the three groups together.

Unfortunately, the authors were not up to task. The authors are amateurs who share a great love for the subject. Unfortunately, there is large chasm between an enthusiast and a professional author. Sadly,the writing and analysis was weak. While reading the book, I wanted them to succeed but in the end, this was a book written by enthusiasts. This book only proves that gifted amateurs are a rare bird.
