How bout dem Cowboys


now I understand why those cacs were upset with the 'Cowboys' coming near their land & herding I bet things did get hostile.

And it also explains why they shut down Cowboying as a career choice.

There Were Black, Indian and Latino Cowboys, Too



The film chronicles contemporary cowboys of color and outlines how such cowboys left an imprint on the Old West. CNN reports that in 19th century Texas, a quarter of all cowboys were black. The proportion of Mexican cowboys was even higher. Augusta State University Professor Michael Searles told CNN that black cowboys in particular had it rough. "Breaking of stock (taming horses) and getting horses ready to ride each morning was often the work of the black cowboy--where there were black cowboys--and when they had to cross a swollen river to move cattle ... black cowboys were the first to cross that river," Searles said.
