Sheepwagon:
Home on the Range
by Nancy Weidel
WSHS 2002 Publications Award
Nominated by the Albany & Platte County Chapters
ISBN: 0931271649
Review: "Hardly anything has been written about sheep and nothing at all about sheepwagons. This photo-intensive book gives the fascinating history of the sheepwagon in words and pictures in a large format book.

Learn of the early days of the Western sheep business; the origins and manufacturing of sheepwagons; learn of sheep herders: their superstitions, customs and pastimes; women who designed and lived in sheepwagons, the Basque influence, and modern day herders and sheepwagons. Many, many never-before published photographs.

This history of the rolling architecture of the sheepwagon is both important and great fun!" - High Plains Press
