We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

I. The Cowboy Culture
A. The Myth of the Cowboy
i. many easterners saw the cowboy life as carefree and rugged
a. this image was often over-romanticized by books such as Owen Wister’s: The Virginian, and James Fenimore Cooper’s: The Deerslayer, and The Last Of The Mohicans
- life was actually much harder
-the books don’t talk about the loneliness, the tedium, the physical discomforts, and the few advancement opportunities in the life of a cowboy
b. this myth has lasted ever since
