Mackey Hedges
Hedges worked as a buckaroo his entire life and never made a dime doing anything but working with horses, Sigman said in a phone interview. At the age of 69, he continues being employed as a buckaroo on a large ranch in Nevada, but also remembers a much simpler time for the cattle industry.
As a way to help his children remember the lifestyle of a buckaroo when he was younger, he decided to write "The Last Buckaroo."
