21st C Cowboys St B

Cowboys have lived and worked in the west and southwest of the United States for over three centuries and they are a famous symbol of the USA. When you watch those old Hollywood cowboy films from the fifties and sixties, you don’t see a job; you see a life of freedom and adventure. It’s a romantic image which we love to believe in. However, the real job of an American cowboy has always been hard and sometimes dangerous; it’s physical with long hours and low pay.
