Born to This Land

by Red Steagall, Skeeter Hagler (Photographer)

Overview

Journeying into West Texas ranch country, Steagall and Hagler prove unequivocally that verse and image are kindred spirits.  Born to This Land examines traditions passed from generation to generation and explores the impact of cowboying on those who choose it as a way of life. Drawing us into their rich depiction of ranch life, Steagall and Hagler transcend prevailing convention and “prowl the remote ranges that lie beyond the deeply rutted main trails, listening for elusive, authentic voices carried on the wind.
