(2) 4-6 This introduction to the history and work of the vaqueros pays long-overdue tribute to these early Native-American cowmen. Freedman smoothly incorporates Spanish words as he describes cowboy-work's fifteenth-century origins, horse training and cattle roundups, tools and clothing, and more. This handsome and well-documented story is illustrated with well-chosen paintings and drawings. Bib., glos., ind.
