Why They Are Called Mavericks
A group of Texas cattlemen discuss the origin of the term maverick in a Kansas City cafe. The tale credits Samuel A. Maverick of San Antonio with cows not branded, calves unlabeled, and range ownership settling by brand. The name spread as unbranded calves wandered and were called mav ericks. Maverick later sold cattle and remained a notable Texas figure.
