Anyone know of any good books on what the trendy late 19th century cow poke and/or gun fighter would wear and what gear he would use? I remember hearing about a book called "Gear and Trappings...something something", and one called "Triggernomitry...something something".

The long hair maggot infested dope smoking hippy wierdos who have more metal hanging off their faces then I have in my gun safe who work in the chain book stores all look at me like I'm crazy when I ask for those, or similar, books.

A couple I have in my collection are:

I See By Your Outfit by Tom Lindmier & Steve Mount, published by High Plains Press, Glendo, Wyoming. This one has lots of old photos.

$10 Horse, $40 Saddle by Don Rickey Jr., published by Bison Books. This one has no photos, but lots of drawings.
