In 1866, the cowboy was “born” with the first herd of Texas longhorns that trailed across hundreds of miles of wild and dangerous country, filled with predators and hostile Indians. The trail led to the wide open town of Abilene which was created due to the Kansas Pacific Railroad which was the western frontier railhead for shipping cattle east.
The big Texas cattle drives fed the market for a beef-hungry America. Six hundred thousand cattle came up the Texas trail in 1871 in herds of about 2,000 each led by wild, reckless and tough young men with great courage and fortitude. Huge numbers of longhorn cattle had multiplied in Texas after the Civil War, the result of few predators, few fences and plenty of grass and water. The cattle ran wild while Texas men went off to fight for the Confederacy. Cow-gathering was a challenge but getting a herd all the way to the Kansas railroad paid big. Early cowboys had very little grub, mostly corn meal and salted bacon, used home-made saddles and chaps, had no tents or tarps, braided their own rope from horsehair, and bragged they could go any place a cow could, and stand anything a horse could. Your saddle blanket and cover with a coat was the Texas trail bed. The twelve-inch-barrel Colt was necessary equipment. Strong, lightweight and wiry men who were persevering and loyal defined a new American spirit of freedom and independence. Mothers shared great pride in seeing their sons grow up to be cowboys.
