Foreword by Richard Farnsworth For twenty years, Darrell Arnold traveled the United States, from Lebanon, Tennessee, to Pie Town, New Mexico, capturing on film and audiotape the day-to-day lives of cowboys and ranchers. Arnold organizes the book by such western themes as horses, neighbors, ranch economics, saddlemaking, and family life. The Cowboy Kind separates myth from reality, letting the words and photos of ranch people reveal the heart and soul of contemporary cowboy life. As veteran actor and horseman Richard Farnsworth says in the foreword, "even with America now in the computer age... the cowboy still endures."
"My Daddy told me one time, "Well, Son, just get up early, work hard all day, quit late, put in twelve hours, and maybe someday you'll get your chance [to be a ranch manager]. Then you can get up earlier, work harder, stay longer, and put in fourteen hours a day." He was right."
