WALKER’S SCRAPBOOK

There’s a lore to the long-ago cattlemen that is alluring and inspiring, almost enviable. Ambition finds freedom in long days on dusty trails, living life under the open sky. Our great-great-grandaddy was one of the originals, and this collection aims to capture life through his lens.

We don’t know as much about Walker Riddle as we’d like to, he was an ancestor on Granny Eloise’s side and most of what we gleaned about him came from poring over faded photographs and handwritten captions, studying his hat, his horse, his saddle, his stance, even his comrades. Still, he left a lasting legacy, one that feels legendary and almost larger than life, of a drover on the famous Chisolm Trail.

This collection is a tribute to him, to our roots in ranching, and to our family heritage as a whole. It celebrates what is wonderful and romantic about the Western way of life. The palettes are earthy, the prints are authentic to the imagery of the era, and the hints of glamor are a nod to the riches of the ranchman when the gamble paid off.

There’s a spirit to Walker that resonates within us; of daring and drive, of risking it all and reaping the rewards, of believing in yourself and seizing your spot in this world in a way so bold your great-great-grandchildren will still be talking about it.

We’re descendants of Texas history, and now we intend to make it.
