Notes:
"The term 'making tracks' is commonly used among the cowboys who work the vast, arid ranches of the southwest. These cowboys must cover a lot of country to gather a herd for branding. This is a young cowpuncher of the Diamond A's who, as the sun rises, has already made a lot of tracks." - Bill Owen
