Summary:
"The saddle has become an American icon. Wranglers rely on saddles
every day, but discerning outsiders favor them for image enhancement
and self expression. Thus saddles turn up in paintings, films, even
advertisements for cigarettes and automobiles. In the marketplace of
western memorabilia they have great value." "One of the most famous
saddlemakers is Donald L. King of Sheridan, Wyoming. His
Sheridan-style saddle, among the finest of all western saddles in
craftsmanship and beauty, is commissioned regularly for championship
rodeo trophies and is prized by collectors." "This study of the
Sheridan saddle and its creator not only highlights King's
contributions but also traces the origins of the western saddle to
its roots in Mexico and Spain."--BOOK JACKET.
