Abstract

Real cowboys aren't sharpshooters with adventurous lives. That romanticized image of cowboys was invented by Buffalo Bill's Wild West show. There are varying styles of being a cowboy from different parts of the country. Real cowboys had to have skills like being able to cut the herd, throw a loop, and understand what different brands meant. The life of a cowboy is a dangerous one too: falling off your horse or being gored by a longhorn can be deadly.
