Note 60 — THE VAQUERO.[60]
Reading edition
A California cattle-driver. Furnished with revolver, lasso, and long-lashed whip, these adventurous gentry conduct the half-wild cattle of the plains over miles of their surface; and, with their gay sashes, high boots, gilded and belled spurs, and dark, broad hats (sombreros), present a very picturesque appearance.
