The M.K. Brown Range Life series pairs photography with Marianne Wiggins’s prose to document the ranching culture of Texas across two very different eras. Life on the Texas Range (1973), Wiggins’s earliest published work, captures the rhythms of mid-century ranch life. More than three decades later, Still: Cowboys at the Start of the Twenty-First Century (2008) returns to the same subject, recording how working cowboys and their traditions have persisted into the modern age.
Both books are collaborative projects that combine visual and written storytelling. They stand apart from Wiggins’s fiction but share her longstanding interest in the American landscape and the people who live close to it.
