They tell their own stories and they honor their forebears, the past generations of their families who led the way. And, they have made an essential contribution to the future: passing on this cherished way of life to their children and grandchildren who carry the traditions forward. These men may be separated by 800 miles, but they live the same life. It's a privileged existence, not for its financial re­wards, but for its integrity and its history. As Montana rancher and poet Wallace McRae might say, they are rich with 'things of intrinsic worth.' As long as the family ranch exists, we can hope that the inspired words of cowboy poets such as Jay Snider and Ken Cook will continue to tell its important stories." – Margo Metegrano Editor, CowboyPoetry.com
