The Cowboys of Central Montana

These are not the pretty photographs of a romanticized people who occupy a perceived West you might expect.These are photographs of real people who deal with the hard realities of running real cow ranches in the high Rocky Mountains of Montana decade after decade; the people who do the calving and branding, the haying and herding and fencing, be it well over 100 degrees or 40 degrees below zero.Embodied in these photographs is the true Montana.The 50 portraits in this book portray these people as only Robert Osborn can; as images that are as tough and honest and gritty as the cowboy or cowgirl depicted.Seeing, living, and breathing the art of photography is what and who Robert Osborn is; and is vividly portrayed in this beautiful book.These 50 portraits are enduring and timeless works of art.
