Edward Borein was born at San Leandro, California, not far from San Francisco, in 1873. He began to work as a cowboy at the age of seventeen, and sold his first drawing when he was twenty-one. From that time onward, irrespective of location as he travelled all over the Southwestern United States and as far south as Guatemala, he was an artist. He remained ever devoted to the practice of his professional skill, and at the same time kept up his interest in cowboy life, to the very end.
Borein also knew the Pueblo Indians and drew them and their villages. It is not known what years Borein visited the Pueblo villages and put his thoughts on paper in the etching process but it would have been in the late 1800s or early 1900s.
