Way Out West—Cowboys: A Horseback Heritage (Treville, 1991) is a photo-led tribute to cowboy life, seen from the saddle and grounded in the everyday realities of work, weather, animals, and wide-open country. Edited by Gyo Suzuki with text by Hisashi Tsurutani, the book pairs concise captions (in English) with a closing section of Japanese text, reflecting Treville’s international publishing style.
 
The collection brings together striking black-and-white imagery across a range of documentary and fine-art approaches, from quiet portraits to action on horseback.
 
Featuring photographs by Sam Abell, Max Aguilera-Hellweg, William Albert Allard, Barbara P. Van Cleve, Jay Dusard, Skeeter Hagler, Douglas Kent Hall, Gerd Kittel, Norman Mauskopf, Leonard McCombe, Sue Rosoff, John Running, and Martin H. Schreiber, it’s an essential pick for collectors of classic Western photography, Americana, and equestrian heritage.
