The Superstition Cowboys and the ranches they worked on was a story that was waiting to be told. The first cowboys and their women were pioneers in a harsh desert mountain environment. The women raised their children, and provided comfort to their men, while living in rough-hewn cabins, under harsh, primitive living conditions. Many of the early cowboys and vaqueros came from Texas and Sonora, bringing their longhorns and wild Mexican cattle with them.
History must not forget these pioneers who helped make America a great state, while providing beef for the hungry miners and settlers.
The rough and tough cowboys of the Superstition Mountains came to Arizona Territory from all parts of America and from all walks of life, aspiring to be cowboys. Some succeeded and fulfilled the dream.
The author has captured some of their stories in this book.
