Buckaroos in Paradise: Ranching Culture in Northern Nevada,
1945-1982 is a multi-format collection that presents documentation
of a Nevada cattle-ranching community. The collection documents
the work and life of the family-run Ninety-Six Ranch and its cowboys,
known in the region as buckaroos. People, sites, and traditions
in the larger community of Paradise Valley, home to persons of Northern
Paiute Indian, Anglo-American, Italian, German, Basque, Swiss, and
Chinese heritage, are represented. Most of the collection was created
by the Paradise Valley Folklife Project, undertaken by the American
Folklife Center from 1978 to 1982.
These historical era(s) are best represented
in the collection, although they may not be all-encompassing.
