Boss of the Plains is a book written by Will Ermine that tells the story of the iconic cowboy hat and its place in the history of the American West. The book explores the origins of the hat, which was first designed by John B. Stetson in the late 1800s, and how it became a symbol of the rugged individualism and independence that characterized the American cowboy. Through a series of essays, Ermine examines the cultural significance of the cowboy hat, tracing its evolution from a practical piece of equipment worn by cowboys to protect them from the sun and rain, to a symbol of the American West and the cowboy way of life. He also delves into the various styles and materials used to make the hat, from the classic Stetson to the more modern versions favored by contemporary cowboys.In addition to its historical and cultural significance, Boss of the Plains is also a celebration of the cowboy spirit, with Ermine paying tribute to the men and women who have kept the cowboy tradition alive over the years. With its engaging writing style and fascinating subject matter, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the American West and the cowboy way of life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
