About the artist…
A native Californian, Edward Borein was born at San Leandro, not far from San Francisco, on October 21, 1873. He began to work as a cowboy at the age of seventeen, and sold his first drawing when he was twenty-one. From that time onwards, irrespective of location as he travelled all over the South-Western United States and as far south as Guatemala, he was an artist. He remained ever devoted to the practice of his professional skill, and at the same time kept up his interest in cowboy life, to the very end.
