Other than a few articles about the quaint sheepwagon or the lonely life of the rapidly disappearing sheepherder  no definitive history of the western sheep business has been written since 1948.  This photo-intensive book gives the history of the sheepwagon and the surrounding sheep business. Here are chapters on the early days of Western sheep-raising; the origins and manufacturing of sheepwagons; traditional sheepherders: their superstitions  customs and pastimes; women and families who lived in sheepwagons; the Basque influence; and modern-day herders  sheepwagons  and restorers.  Author Weidel spent years interviewing sheepmen and women  sheepherders  wagon builders  and experts for this  the only book on the fascinating first mobile home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67924550975541,"sku":"ByrdShop_0931271649","price":102.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780931271649.jpg?v=1794136147","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/sheepwagon-home-on-the-range-9780931271649","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
