By Chris Cauble (editor), another great "end-table" book from Montana Publisher Riverbend Publishing. A first-of-its-kind collection of breath-taking wildlife and hunting experience color photos and memorable text that truly captures the thrill of hunting in Montana. A perfect gift for any hunter on your list!

Featuring the photography of David R. Stoecklein, The Montana Cowboy tells the story of those mixed-luck, big-hearted people who have been galloping along the range, pushing the cattle in Montana for more than a century. The history and differences in geography of the state are told by Montana native, Pat Dawson. His reflections of the oldtimers' spirits are complemented by the beautiful illustrations of the famed artist, Buckeye Blake. David R. Stoecklein (photographer), Patrick Dawson (illustrator), Dave Powell (illustrator)

Excerpt from an Illinois reader's review: Stoecklein's use of shading and shadow in his photography in this book really capture the Montana spirit. My wife, a born-and-bred Montana gal, really loved this book. She was really moved by some of the pictures. This is really a great book for the die-hard Montana resident (and you know who you are...) and anyone who likes the spirit of the northwest.

Excerpt from a Pennsylvania reader's review:The photographs make this book. I have never visited a ranch, but I now feel like I have. "The Montana Cowboy" shows the real working life of the American cowboy, not the fluffy romantic stuff that comes out of Hollywood. This book offered me the chance to experience the realities of ranching first-hand. It holds a prominent place on my bookshelf, and it is well worth the buy.
