Jack Talk: The Cowboy and Cattle Ranching in the West

Here, Jack tells us all about the history of the western cattle business, who the cowboys were, what their life was like, their special terminology and apparel, why their boots are pointed, and their hats turned up, why bareback is safer than with a saddle, what life was like on a cattle drive, how did one start a ranch and survive in Arizona. It is a fascinating subject that most of us don’t know much about except from the movies.
