Traveling Exhibit-Vaquero: Genesis of the Texas Cowboy at The Pioneer Museum

Description

Beginning September 1, Pioneer Museum will present “Vaquero: Genesis of the Texas Cowboy,” an exhibition created by the Wittliff Collections at the Alkek Library, Texas State University-San Marcos, presented in partnership with Humanities Texas. 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. The exhibit runs through October 11.
