Pics: Last days of the American wild west

[Still Waters]

A Montana family has closed a chapter of American history after embarking on their last annual horse drive.

Photographer Jim Urquhart followed the Mantle family last weekend as husband and wife team Kail and Renee rounded up 300 horses and drove them 35 miles from their winter range to the Mantle ranch over the course of three days.

Extraordinary photos capture the event that has captivated thousands for the last 11 years and has been one of the few enduring traditions of the American Old West.
