Beasley’s Vaqueros

The Memoirs, Art, and Poems of Ricardo M. Beasley

By Andrés Tijerina

Foreword by Ron C. Tyler 132 pp., 37 illustrations

Beasley’s Vaqueros presents the

and

of South Texas artist Ricardo M. Beasley. Between roughly 1940 and 1980, Beasley produced dozens of pen-and-ink drawings of working vaqueros, the Tejano cowboys of South Texas. Vibrant, action-packed scenes capture the dangers as well as the joys of working with cattle, horses, and an often-unforgiving landscape of cactus and mesquite. More than just a testament to the talents of a singular, self-taught artist, Beasley’s Vaqueros is a record of vaquero life in South Texas that spans the centuries.

With Under the Double Eagle: Citizen Employees of the U.S. Army on the Texas Frontier, 1846–1899, Col. (Ret.) Thomas T. “Ty” Smith, known for his extensive research and writing on the U. S. Army in Texas, presents an in-depth examination of the civilian employees of the U.S. Army in the nineteenth century.

This work will be of importance to historians, to the general public with an interest in Texas history or Texas medicine, and especially genealogists.
