COWBOYS OF THE WAGGONER RANCH Photography Book is Released

The sale is final for the legendary 510,572-acre Waggoner Ranch. However, the future is undetermined for what may or may not change for 26 cowboys at the largest ranch in the U.S. under one contiguous fence.

Young Texas photographer Jeremy Enlow captured a behind-the-scenes glimpse of these legends through his inaugural photography book, Cowboys of the Waggoner Ranch. Now in its third printing - his first 1,500 books sold out in 10 days! - the limited-edition hardcover is available at www.waggonercowboys.com.

"I've lived on and been a part of the Waggoner Ranch since I was six months old - almost 69 years. I grew up with the cowboys, ate at the wagon and the big round table at headquarters. I've known the cowboys who stayed 50 years and the ones just passing through," said Helen Biggs Willingham, joint owner of the Waggoner Ranch.

"They rise before dawn, ride tall in the saddle all day whether the day is sunny or a cold and biting wind swirls around them as they saddle their chosen mounts. They no longer battle Indians and outlaws of old, but they face the elements of nature every day."

Willingham continued, "Some people think of the cowboy as a half-mythological folk hero, just a symbol of the American West. The Waggoner Cowboys are real people. They are essential to the daily operation and success of this outfit. They are proud to ride for the 3D brand. Our cowboys have been a vital cog in the wheel of Waggoner success for many years."

Fort Worth-based Jeremy Enlow was given exclusive access to the Cow Camp operation behind the prestigious reversed triple D brand of the Waggoner Ranch. "Most everyone I know with a 'real' job couldn't last five minutes cowboying on the Waggoner," said Enlow. "They physically abuse their bodies with a finesse that's mastered with years of experience. There is no break until the job is done. Whether it rains, sleets or snows, the cowboys are always working."

Enlow self-published the hardcover book (140 pages - 12" tall x 10.5" wide - 100# glossy stock). Cowboys of the Waggoner Ranch retails for $58 - a portion of the proceeds will be donated to The Waggoner Ranch Cowboys Fund. A select number of signed and numbered fine art prints are also available, starting at $1,500.

More than 36,000 images have been published worldwide through Jeremy Enlow Fine Art Photography and his commercial photography business, Steel Shutter Photography. Enlow's subjects include architecture, landscapes, portraits, food and sports while his clients include magazines, universities, advertising agencies, corporations and small businesses.
