"Vaquero: Gensis of the Texas Cowboy" comes to us via Texas Humanities and "Dirt, Animals and Good Fun" is a Buffalo County Historical Society exhibit focused on Rodeos in Buffalo County.



Exhibition
In the early 1970s, noted Texas historian Joe Frantz offered Bill Wittliff a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—to visit a ranch in northern Mexico where the vaqueros still worked cattle in traditional ways. Wittliff photographed the vaqueros as they went about daily chores that had changed little since the first Mexican cowherders learned to work cattle from a horse's back. Wittliff captured a way of life that now exists only in memory and in the photographs included in this exhibition.
