If you have ever wondered what a cowboy did, then you''ll love this book. The cowboys of America were a unique breed of people. They lived in the country, and the golden age of cowboys was 1866.

During this time, cattle drovers had to castrate and dehorn older animals. They were responsible for choosing which cattle would go to market. The cattle frontier was the home of more guns than any
