An overview of the American cowboy's role in history and popular culture. It covers the open frontier era after 1865, the decline of open ranges by 1895, and the emergence of railroads and fences. It also describes cowgirl roles, typical cowboy clothing and gear, cattle drives, branding, trail life, and common trail foods.
This overview separates legend from fact, noting cowboys rarely wore guns, were not lone town takers, and many facts show diverse origins. It highlights outdoor living, equal wages for Black cowboys, risks from stampedes, bronco busting dangers, and the central role of horses.
