Tenderfoot from Kentucky in a Texas cow camp prank
In 1887 D G Knight managed Durants round-up near Presidio County with about 60 men and 400 horses. Kentucky friends sent a brash youth who bragged of high society dinners. Cowboys pranked him by loosening his saddle cinches and scaring him with "gwinders" and blue shirt superstitions, leaving him fearful of leaving camp after dark.
