Cowboys History | Daily Bellringer 

Thank you for your excellent videos! They are always interesting, clear, and concise. We use them in our homeschool, and they are a perfect fit.

Interesting time that has been romanticized in books, television, and movies. Very hard, grueling work.

Sun Set That sun still sets in the west But that old trail is asphalt now Baked by the sun hot and dry The sounds of hoofs have passed Herds of buffalo graze no more Barbwire strung along The fence post passed like a picket fence As the truck tires whine on The sweetgrass has all but gone The Mesquite is tall and thick Prickly Pear covers the prairie The Longhorns have gone A saddle all covered in dust The moth-riddled blanket flaps Riding quirt amiss Old spurs hung on a wall On a post hangs a leather belt With a holster cracked and rotting That old hogleg turned brown Brass all green The lassoing cowboy is no more That broad hat tipped back His shirt sleeves rolled high Jeans rolled double His hair thinned and gray High cheekbones darken Bull hide tough Hand scars a many With eyes squinting A straw chair leaned back Daydreaming No more round ups That last ride was long ago With a rolled cigarette on his lip His words in a low key That sun still sets in the west Barry 4/3/2023

So let me understand... cowboys NEEDED railroads until there were too many and the railway didn't need the cowboy anymore?

You receive an F for not mentioning how the Mexican Vaquero perfected the cowboy by introducing the saddle horn and lassoing cattle. Even the Spanish had not come up with the concept!! Do a better job including the entirety of cowboy history!!!
