Cowgirls
True tales of a dozen women who helped tame the Wild West--and helped make America what it is today. The fiercely independent, untamed woman of the old West--the cowgirl--seems to most people a topic more of fiction than real fact.
Cowgirls
This book brings together their stories, including their own thoughts about being cowgirls, and archival art that celebrates the Western experience.
THE STORY: Jo is in a pickle: She has twenty-four hours to save Hiram Hall--her father's once-famous country-western saloon in Rexford, Kansas--from foreclosure.
The saga of the American cowgirl, unlike that of the cowboy, is not well-chronicled, but her history is as appealing as it is colorful.
Like her male counterpart, she rides and ropes, understands land and stock, and confronts the elements. Jordan traveled 60,000 miles in the West, talking with authentic cowgirls to compile this portrait. 108 photographs.
This volume is a joy for the serious Western/Americana collector, and fascinating to anyone interested in women's history.
