These Were The Vaqueros: Collected Works of Arnold R. Rojas

The book contains the collected stories of Arnold R. Rojas in five sections - based on five of his earlier works - with tales gathered from old California vaqueros. The first section tells the history of the early land grants and of the vaqueros who drove the great herds. The second section gives the lore of the vaquero - his ways and beliefs. Part three is filled with more stories from the vaqueros of old and how they worked their horses and mules. Part four tells more of the methods of the vaquero and section five speaks of bits and bitting and the ways of the bridle horse.
