Description: The activities of contemporary cowboys are examined in this documentary which follows one of the last horse-drawn chuckwagons in America. Against the wild and isolated country of northern Nevada, the nine cowboys and chuckwagon cook tell their stories of six months roaming the half-million acres of the IL Ranch. Working cattle from horseback and sleeping on the ground in canvas tents, these hardy guardians preserve cowboy traditions. They are easily recognizable in their tall hats, long mustaches and historically-correct working garb. This film presents a vestige of the past, a portrait of a nearly-extinct way of cowboy life.
