People’s images of the cowboy don’t quite fit the reality.For example,people often think of all cowboys as white Americans.Actually,the first cowboys were Mexican; many cow¬boy customs began in Mexico.There were also black cowboys—often ex-slaves freed by the Civil War —and Indian cowboys.People also forget that the cowboy’s main job was to take care of cows and to get them to market.The cowboy’s life,although full of adventure ,was hard and often boring.
In the mid-1860s,Texas cattle ranchers found that in other states,like Kansas,they could get ten times as much money for their cattle.This is how cattle drives got started.On the drives,cowboys took the cattle along trails from Texas up to Kansas and even further north.
The cattle of different owners grazed to¬gether in open grasslands.They were branded,or marked with their owner’s symbol.When it was time for the drive,the cowboys would round up the cattle that had the right brand.Brands were also meant to discourage rustlers ,or cattle thieves; cattle owners chose brands that would be hard to change.
On the trail,cowboys worked from before sunup to after sundown.At night they took turns guarding the cattle.One constant dan¬ger was the stampede :a change in weather or an unexpected noise was enough to make the cattle run.
The era of the cattle drive—the real era of the cowboy—lasted only about twenty years.As more land was fenced in,cattle could no longer graze freely.There were also too many cattle.By the late 1880s,some cattle trails were actually crowded!
