A cowboy is defined by the work that he does. Any man can lay claim to that name if he lives on a ranch and works — drives, brands, castrates, or nurtures — a cattleman’s herd. In addition, working accounts for ways in which cowboys portray themselves in their "art" in 19th-century poems that they orally composed and sang on the ranch, in 20th-century poems that they write, in books that they publish, and in art objects that they fashion, cowboys always represent themselves as engaging in some form of labour. This book’s threefold purpose is, first, to look at art that cowboys produce — art that has never been studied before— and, second, to demonstrate that cowboy art values historically document labour routines that cowboys have traditionally acted out in their work culture.
I use the term work culture not only to suggest that cowboys are defined by the work that they do, but also to argue that they are self-represented in culture by poems, prose, and art that all reveal cowboys to be men who are culturally unified by engaging in labour routines that they think of as cowboy work. Art deals with cowboy work, as well as with concerns about economics, gender, religion, and literature, even though these thoughts sometimes express themselves as concerns about cattle branding, livestock castration, and other tasks. The book’s third and most important function is, therefore, to show that artistic self-representations of labour also formulate systems of thought which cowboys use as a metaphor for discussing economics, gender, religion, and literature, sometimes equating branding with religious salvation, at other times defining spur making as freedom, and so on.
