Travel: Following the Bootmaker Trail

Hit the road with Western writer Johnny D. Boggs. In his article "Following the Bootmaker Trail" Boggs travels from Guthrie, Oklahoma to Phoenix, Arizona... visiting at least fifteen bootmakers along the way.

This article is full of quotes and stories that showcase the personality of each shop. Don't overlook the article's sidebar. It's loaded with current information about base prices and delivery times.
