Alfredo Campos
Braider
1935
BP: Tucson, AZ
LKL: Washington
Unrivaled in the lost art of horsehair hitching, Alfredo Campos was born in Tucson, Arizona in 1935 on a cattle ranch. He moved to Washington in 1958 and worked for Boeing for 35 years. He learned to braid rawhide for his own ropes, then picked up the Barnett book on horsehair hitching in 1974 and taught himself to braid, a monumental feat! With his wife of 37 years, Lucia, he has 5 children and 9 grandchildren. His credo is "do the best you can" which is proven by the fact that any errors in his pieces are ripped out and re-worked until each attains the perfection he demands.
