“Great pictures..however, no side arms or saddle rings that I could see in ANY picture...must have been after 1900....”

WAY “after 1900”.

These are NOT “old photos”, but from recent years in the not-too-distant past.

Go to the photographer’s page, here:
http://www.adamjahiel.com/#/The%20Last%20Cowboy/The%20Last%20Cowboy%20%20%20%20%20%20/1/

There is a slideshow with 52 images.
There’s also a pic of Adam Jahiel, the photographer, and he appears to be in his mid-40’s to early 50’s.

The pictures are wonderful, but they are not “old”, per se. One might infer that from the title of the original Daily Mail article...

I’m often reluctant to post DM stuff....but it does publish stuff that is occasionally unvarnished.

I think you answered your own question.....we don’t have journalists/journalism in the USA any longer.

Not those in the story but originals of the west since around the late 1800s. I have some and my MIL has hundreds. I live in a small town and know all the ranchers and could probably access thousands of them.

A few years ago we were the presidents of the Old Timer’s Association and I put together a presentation and I used just a few. I loved most the one with the horse loaded in a Model T with my husband’s grandmother driving.

We have pictures of family members spanning 100 yrs and 6 generations in the same place on a mountain.

We have often started sorting the pictures but we never get through them.

The horses are in what is called a “ Remuda” man at the lower right with horse has picked out his horse to ride for a while, and the rest are kept close at hand so Cowboys can change rides every so often..As the saying goesn” The West is hell of women and horses.”

Howz 'bout roper boots?

Washington, D.C., 1919. "Ralph E. Madsen, the tall cowboy, at White House." Harris & Ewing Collection glass negative

Giant Ready for Draft

Tacoma will send a young giant into the National army when Ralph E. Madsen, twenty-one years old, is called for service. He is 7 feet 3 inches tall. Madsen is advertising shows, using his great height to advantage. He weighs 210 pounds and was born in Kansas, where his parents still reside. "Down on the old home farm the folks fed me real food and it made me grow tall," Madsen told the draft board. "I am rady to go, and I think I can be of some use in the big fracas with my altitude."

The Woodville Republican, March 29, 1919

Girl looks like that Miley Cyrus has-been.

I was in a waiting room looking at this magazine with Cyrus in a $7K *cowgirl dress*, 2K boots...these are the influences for our grand children. Yep.
