Cowboy Way, The : Wisdom, Wit and Lore

For everything cowboy and Wild West, look no further.

This is a tribute to the classic image of old-time lore and its influence on popular culture.

You thought that you knew cowboys, but did you know: The cowboy can trace his roots back to the Spanish vaquero traditions of Mexico; Cowboys are credited for offering such folkloric wisdom as: "Always saddle your own horse" and "Never trust a man who agrees with you -- he's probably wrong"; Annie Oakley was likely America's first superstar; she was a sharpshooter who became famous for her role in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show.
