Rafael "Chappo" Remudas is pictured here in Burns, Oregon, around 1890. He came as a vaquero to the high desert in 1872. Chappo proudly sits on his horse, surrounded by the tools of his trade: his lasso wound tightly around his saddle horn, his kerchief tied at his neck, tapederos (covered stirrups to protect his feet), heavy leggings, a flat-crowned sombrero, and his silver-mounted bridle.
