Postcards from Florida Cowboys

Every day before dawn they saddle their horses, coil their lariats and whips, and ride out to work the herds. They are Florida Cowboys living legacies of the longest history of ranching in America. They are also the guardians of the landscape they share with endangered wildlife and irreplaceable wetlands. Drive a few miles down the road from Disney World and you ll cross a ranch with more cattle than any other in North America. Carlton Ward s stunning images reveal a world at the heart of Florida that few tourists or residents ever see. These postcards will take your breath away with their raw beauty and grit."
