    Placing a tag of vaquero or vaqueros on this photo is not historically accurate. The photo is in New Mexico, ( I live in New Mexico), and those are cowboys. But, vaqueros pre-date the cowboy. Vaqueros date to early 1600's. Cowboys were an product of the Americans 1850 arrival in the Southwest and adopting, then changing, the vaquero culture that existed. The vaquero culture used specific equipment, lassos of 120 feet intead of the cowboys 60 foot lassos. The vaquero were on open ranges while cowboys fenced the ranches. I can assure you the photo was on a fenced ranch. And those are not vaqueros. There are some that are trying to keep the vaquero culture alive, but they are rare.

    Just look at the clarity of this ! Lee Russell was some photographer ! (and could keep his nerve when faced with more than a dozen bovines being driven towards him ...)

    i did a series of paintings from this photo( and other russell lee shots) last summer. not only are these pictures beautiful but they add insight into the hardships of the dustbowl and depression. it is great that the library of congress is doing this.

    My girlfriend and I drove through Pie Town, NM, on Rt. 60 on December 29, 2008, which was just before I stumbled across this series of photos. We had just left the VLA Observatory and were on our way to Meteor Crater, AZ and I only managed to get one photo: To be honest, I didn't even know the place existed until seeing it on the map while driving but was thrilled to see these wonderful photos soon after passing through. Plus, I'm happy to actually see pies in the Pie Town photographs!
