The rest of Krantz's work has been about the Western United States and its cowboys, rodeo and ranching communities. American Cowboys (2021) contains a "photographic study of this often overlooked, misunderstood world, from the families immersed in the culture to the hard work and labor of ranching and rodeos."{{cite news|first1=Layne Van|last1=Vranken|access-date=2023-03-08|title=These Luxe Coffee Table Books Make Great Last-Minute Gifts|url=https://www.thedailybeast.com/best-coffee-table-books|newspaper=The Daily Beast|date=6 December 2022}}
