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 a commercial and editorial photographer as well as an avid collector of cowboy boots. His previous books include Art of the Boot, The Cowboy Boot Book, Art of the Heart, Art of the Skull, and Art of the Cross, among others. He lives in Santa Fe.
