Limited edition copy signed by photographer Scott T. Baxter.
Dude ranching found its official start in 1926, when a group of ranchers decided to create a governing organization for the industry that had begun to blossom in the late 1800s. The first dude ranches found their guests longing to extend their stays and happy to pay in exchange, as they explored and adventured in the American West.
In celebration of the centennial of the Dude Ranchers’ Association, this book explores modern and historic dude ranching at 26 ranches that were at the forefront of the industry, hosting dudes and giving them a taste of the West by 1926.
With photographs by award-winning photographer Scott T. Baxter, this book explores modern dude ranching at these historic ranches as captured over the course of a year; paired with historic information to see how each ranch has changed over a century. A history of the DRA and dude ranching written by historian Lynn Downey chronicles the story of dude ranches — the West’s first destination vacation.
