Saddle Making in Idaho Oral History Project

This collection is comprised of fifteen interviews conducted by Linda Morton-Keithley in 1990 for the Idaho State Historical Society on information about saddlemaking in Idaho. The saddlemakers interviewed discussed the time period between the 1930s and 1980s and came from widely varied backgrounds. Some interviewees learned the trade from family members, others apprenticed, and some fell into saddlemaking by accident and developed the skills on their own. They have pre-saddlemaking work backgrounds as ranchers, working cowboys, professional rodeo cowboys, or leatherworkers. Other interview topics include business, horses and forest services.
