RARE BOOK ~They Saddled the West~ by Lee M Rice from Bob Maclin Collection - $300 - (Warsaw, MO)

Price Suggestion Welcome Fantastic book Hardback with DustcoverWas owned by the late Bob Maclin and his purchase order is inside the bookWritten at a time when old saddle makers were slipping into the limbo of forgotten things and mechanization was overtaking specialized handcrafted products and associated trade secrets, the authors directed their attention to the outstanding members of the saddle making profession to preserve the history of first-class saddle making. They turned to the American West, as it is doubtful if any region of comparable size ever displayed so extensive a body of first-class saddle makers as did this region during the era of open-range ranching. This book includes historical photographs as well as drawings and "is dedicated to the memory of all those skilled and conscientious old-time saddle makers, sung and unsung, who devoted their talents to improving the lot of the western horseman."8" by 10"190 PagesCornell Maritime PressFirst Edition June 1 1974
