Book excerpt: "Some fifty odd years ago a skinny, gangling kid on a hipshot, hump-backed mare rode into the southern San Joaquin Valley, looking for a job." Thus begins the final volume in a trilogy that has been dedicated to the saga of a vanished--the vaquero of California's Central Valley, who reached his apogee at a time when the greatest cattle empires in North America were passing out of existence. Speaking Spanish, the inheritor of traditional skills that had come down to him via the conquistadors from the Arabian horsemen, the Vaquero was the forerunner and mentor of the American buckaroo--to whom in turn he transmitted his lingo and equine expertise. Arnold (Chief") Rojas picked up the ore, anecdotes and legends he has transcribed into three marvelously authentic books from the survivors of that lost empire and era--when there was not glamor in riding fences, or carrying a gun-from men named Catarino Reece, 'Nacho Montes and Harry Gillem. First as a boy of nine who carried water and did odd jobs, and later as a top hand for the Tejon Ranch, Miller and Lux, and the Kern County Land Company, Arnold Rojas kept his ears open and managed to capture the essence of thousands of long evenings in many a San Joaquin bunkhouse and lonely line shack--in a prose as terse and flavored as the speech of the vaqueros themselves.--From jacket flap
Download or read book Cattle Colonialism written by John Ryan Fischer and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2015-08-31 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the nineteenth century, the colonial territories of California and Hawai'i underwent important cultural, economic, and ecological transformations influenced by an unlikely factor: cows. The creation of native cattle cultures, represented by the Indian vaquero and the Hawaiian paniolo, demonstrates that California Indians and native Hawaiians adapted in ways that allowed them to harvest the opportunities for wealth that these unfamiliar biological resources presented. But the imposition of new property laws limited these indigenous responses, and Pacific cattle frontiers ultimately became the driving force behind Euro-American political and commercial domination, under which native residents lost land and sovereignty and faced demographic collapse. Environmental historians have too often overlooked California and Hawai'i, despite the roles the regions played in the colonial ranching frontiers of the Pacific World. In Cattle Colonialism, John Ryan Fischer significantly enlarges the scope of the American West by examining the trans-Pacific transformations these animals wrought on local landscapes and native economies.

Book excerpt: HACKAMORE REINSMAN by ED CONNELL, first published in 1952, is a hands-on manual of instruction that describes in detail the use of the hackamore and snaffle bit. He takes green horse and trainer from the first bosal and ground-pulling to the point that the horse will slide and whirl on the hackamore. Ed's method is pure "Californio" having descended from the Moors and then the Spaniards who brought this training to the New World, developing the hair-trigger reined horses found in California. It is the Spanish method of breaking and training a horse before it is ever bitted. The focus is on making a finished hackamore horse with an untouched mouth. It emphasizes the art of reinsmanship as practiced, developed and perfected by the Old Californios and remains the bible of all books on hackamore training. Connell's 2nd book, REINSMAN OF THE WEST -- BRIDLES & BITS, gives the WHY and HOW of making a spade bit horse out of the hackamore horse, using the methods of the Old California Vaqueros. It explains how to choose the right bit and how to use that bit to get the most from your horse. Website: www.hackamore-reinsman.com.

Download or read book In the Days of the Vaqueros written by Russell Freedman and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2001 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this rousing account of the first true cowboys, Newbery Medalist Russell Freedman brings to life the days when the vaqueros rounded up cattle, brought down steers, and tamed wild broncos. In the service of wealthy Spanish conquistadors in the sixteenth century, Mexican ranch hands began herd- ing cattle, often riding barefoot. They soon developed and perfected the skills for this dangerous work and became expert horsemen. Hundred of years later the vaqueros shared their expertise with the inexperienced cowboys of the American West, who adopted their techniques and their distinctive clothing, tools, and even lingo. Yet today it is the cowboy whom we remember, while the vaquero has all but disappeared from history. The vaqueros are at last given their due in this dramatic narrative, lushly illustrated with beautiful period paintings and drawings.
