Clearly, many factors, such as the environment, economics, and the English influence in Canada, account for significant differences in cowboy culture but the author demonstrates the extraordinary similarity among cowboys, who share key values and characteristics in vastly different areas of the Americas. Slatta’s thesis, which he substantiates with an array of primary and secondary works, is that the Spanish influence has dominated and shaped cowboy life and culture. His broad canvas includes cowboys from Alberta, Canada, and the western United States, the vaquero of northern Mexico, the Argentinian gaucho, the Chilean huaso, and the Venezuelan llanero. He compares and contrasts the social, economic, environmental, and cultural factors that shaped the frontier life of the cowboy in the major Anglo-American and Spanish-American frontiers. Richard Slatta has produced a work that contributes significantly to research on comparative frontiers in the Americas.
