Signed copies rarely offered. A tribute to 21 saddlemakers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as well as modern saddlemakers. As inexorably interwoven in the mythos of the American West as its intricate wild rose motif is sculpted into leather, the Sheridan-style saddle elevates a once-utilitarian cowboy artifact into a museum masterpiece. For nearly 130 years, local saddlers have crafted the beautiful, highly recognizable Sheridan-style saddles through such masters as Otto and John Ernst, Rudy Mudra, Lloyd Davis, Reuben Bloomberg, Don King, Billy Gardner, Joseph Crackenberger, Chester Hape and Bob Johnson, constituting a tight-knit, intergenerational guild of craftsmen who made Sheridan a mecca for saddles. ?Sheridan was an epicenter of saddle making in the ?50s and ?60s, but most of them have retired or died. An important work for anyone interested in the history of the American West and it's collectables. Gorzalka published three books and many articles and photos nationally, regionally and locally. She was a member of the Women's Writer's Club, Big Horn Women's Club, Wyoming Cattle Association, Sheridan County Historical Society, Big Horn City Historical Society, and the Western Writers of America. Her son Lonnie is considered among "the young traditionalists" of Sheridan saddlemaking. Signed by Author.
