Jim Arndt

A western icon meets popular culture
How to be a Cowboy is a compendium of knowledge and insight, wit and wisdom, an all around resource for every aspect of cowboy life. It includes the least you need to know about ranching, rodeoing, cooking, dancing, music, yodeling, boots, shirts, horses, hats, buckles, denim, lingo, poetry, and even how to walk like a cowboy. Cowboy history and culture come to light through photos, excerpts, short stories, poems, drawings, prose, and more.


Jim Arndt is nationally recognized photographer, with many books to his credit including Art of the Boot, The Cowboy Boot Book, and 100 Years of Western Wear. His work has been published and exhibited internationally.
