The opening of the novel presents a prelude of how life for the 19th century cowboy was and how contrary to belief, the cowboy was a very civilized individual. Unlike the common misconception of the cowboys being a drunk individual with itchy trigger fingers, Kelton displays many of the characters in the novel as modest men, sober when on the job, and without a gun around their waist. It tells of how Texas was one big nesting ground for cattle with wide open space that stretched for miles. The prelude defines the cowboys as an independent bunch that have the tumultuous job of herding cattle from here to there. The cowboys have a distinct way of life, a distinct set of skills, and a distinct set of beliefs and rules. The main dilemma in the novel arises when the cowboys’ way of life is challenged by changing times as well as the big corporations encroaching on their freedom as the possession of cattle becomes a key point.…

What I found interesting in this section was the origin of “cowboy,” which I usually see in Hollywood movies and novels, and because of extensive treatment of cattle drives in fiction and film, the cowboy became the worldwide iconic image of the American West. Through this section, I learned Spanish word “vaquero,” which was the English translation of “cowboy” and that means a person who managed cattle while mounted on horseback. I researched the history of cattle industry in California, how people developed the economy in Cattle Drive era. In this journal 2, also I further studied their cultural difference between California cowboy and Texas cowboy which drew my attention as well. I am going to focus on Cattle Drive section in this journal.…

Back in the day, ranchers would hire cowboys to look over their herds. Today, cowboys show their skills by bull riding, using a lasso, and roping and tying steers. The Mexican-American War in the 1850’s is when the traditional cowboy look was actually developed. American soldiers improved this look during the war and brought it to the South. By improving the look, they made the hats cooler and the outfits more durable opposed to just be colorful.…
Livestock was deemed integral to the social, economic, and religious lives of the People by providing: wealth, social status, transportation, food, and clothing (Acrey, 1979). The personal and family economy as well as informal political power were all affected by the number of livestock owned (McPherson, 2000). Owning livestock ensured survival.

Livestock was so integral to the Navajo, that “sheep” are seen in a portion of their creation…

A warrior is a person experienced in or capable of engaging in combat or warfare, especially within the context of a tribal or clan-based society that recognizes a separate warrior class. However, a Sioux warrior is a member of the largest tribe of the Siouan stock of North American Indians, who originally occupied Minnesota and Wisconsin and later migrated westward to the Great Plains; several Siouan groups where Dakota, Lakota, and Nakota (Dictionary.com, 2011). In order to become a Sioux warrior is not only to be prepared for warfare, but to be prepared physically and mentally to protect their lands and surrender the enemies that they fight. What is the difference of being a Warrior and a so called Sioux Warrior? Culture, customs, tradition and religion are behind the Sioux Warriors. In the poem, “Sioux Warrior”, written by Darren M. Grine, the author expresses and writes the poem in first person, showing his knowledge of what a Sioux Warrior believed in, how the social structure is related to their thinking, and how the Sioux Warrior is embedded within the tribe.…
