Cowboys Don't Do Lunch
Native New Yorker Herb Cohen was, by nature, an observer. Cowboys Don’t Do Lunch is a book of portraits, skillfully detailed photographs of the last of the real cowboys and characters who lived in Cave Creek as it transitioned from a full-time cattle ranching community into an incorporated town. Herb captured images few had access to at the time, photos that reveal the historical and cultural significance of the people that settled these regions. Unintentionally and certainly without knowing it, Cohen documented the True West.
