Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Ezzell, Emmy - Design (illustrator). Second Printing. Page 243 Pages with Glossary. Comadres celebrates a way of life, a regional language, and a generation of women whose contribution to New Mexican history and culture has long been overlooked. Branding cows, birthing children, sewing sheets, hauling water, and building walls, the hands of these women shaped the world in which they lived; their stories contribute to the ongoing legacy of Hispanic culture. García transcribes the women's remembrances in a printed regional Spanish remarkable for its faithfulness to the spoken word. This Spanish is richly dialectic and a vital thread in the varied tapestry that is New Mexican language. English translations render the Spanish with detailed, personal nuance, and a glossary encourages readers with linguistic interests to compare regional variations with the standard Spanish of textbooks and dictionaries. By Author - Signature Only.

For those who've long thought cowboys spend their nights on the range crooning lullabies to cattle, this book will come as a shock. To those who love joining in a lusty chorus of the kind of song their mothers probably never taught them, and to those who are serious students of folk music, cowboys, or the American West, the editor and compiler offers an eye-opener of another sort. This is the first field collection of songs from working cowboys to be published in many years. Honest and realistic, it's also the first to demonstrate that bawdy songs have always been an integral part of cowboy culture. The cowboy sings what he knows from his past and what appeals to his emotions. He is a sentimentalist, but his favorite songs are robust bawdy songs, that range as do dirty jokes and stories, from gross to clever humor. Logsdon has painstakingly sought out, listened to, and recorded the songs of America's working cowboys. While this may tarnish the popular image of the cowboy, it creates a much more thorough and accurate portrait of a specific group of working men. Bawdy material has always been integral to cowboy culture, although sadly neglected or suppressed by folklorists and historians. Logsdon with great skill and humor, corrects this long-bowdlerized occupational record. Here's an important side of cowboy life we all knew existed but about which little has been written. This is a major contribution to folklore and popular culture history and the social psychology of American cowboy culture. Includes 61 songs with music and lyrics. One of the songs is a Texas Ranger protest song, probably dating from the Republic of Texas, in which the Rangers protest their very low wages and skimpy rations.Write for list of the 62 songs and list of black and white photos.
