May your belly never grumbleMay your heart never acheMay your horse never stumbleMay your cinch never breakCowboy blessingCattle were introduced to North America as early as the 1680s. But the true era of the cowboy required an intersection of inventions and conditions that finally happened about 1860.The east of North America was thickly forested. Modern cattle thrive in grasslands, and when white Europeans made their way to Texas, Kansas and Missouri they found a bonanza of grasslands that were being connected to the big markets of the East, by the first railways across the plains.Abilene, Kansas became a destination for cattle drives from Texas, that sent vast shipments to Omaha and the meat packers of Chicago. For a period of 50 years, the cowboy of legend had a vital role in the economy of America.This is the story, in photos, texts and illustrations of who the cowboys were, what their lives and culture were, famous cowboys, outlaws and lawmen, cattle and horses in short, the whole world of the cowboy from early days to now.Packed with archival photos, posters, sidebars and museumworthy artifacts, Cowboy includes:Cowboys of the Old West America's early explorers and settlers Westward expansion, wars with Native peoples Wagon trains and the first railroads The creation of cattle ranches The vaqueros, the first cowboys What is a cow?
