An exceedingly rare copy of CALIFORNIOS by Ernie Morris and signed by the author. This is the last published work of the famed California vaquero, author and artist, written and published in 2021, the year he passed away. This needle-in-a-haystack book is the ONLY copy available on the open market. Few people know this book even exists and I can only find one other copy that existed which was sold in 2025. In the foreword, Ernie writes that this is the last book he will write about cattle and their contribution to the world, specifically in California. An extremely rare and spectacular work full of information that Ernie wanted to share with the world at the very end of his life so it wouldn’t be forgotten. Truly a keepsake for your collection and a compilation of information you don't want to be without, topics covered include fitting of the hackamore, starting of the young horse, use of the tapa ojos, riding in the two rein, using the riata, rein chains, and more. 38 pages with color and pen and ink illustrations throughout.

An only edition (2021) printed in hardcover with a dust jacket. .

The book is in brand new condition with only the lightest of handling wear.

Asking 285.
