Cowboy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A classic image of the American cowboy, as portrayed by
C.M. Russell
A
cowboy
is an animal
herder
who tends
cattle
on
ranches
in
North America
, traditionally on horseback, and often performs a multitude of other ranch-related tasks. The historic American cowboy of the late 19th century arose from the
vaquero
traditions of northern
Mexico
and became a figure of special significance and legend.

A subtype, called a
wrangler
, specifically tends the
horses
used to work cattle. In addition to ranch work, some cowboys work for or participate in
rodeos
.
Cowgirls
, first defined as such in the late 19th century, had a less-well documented historical role, but in the modern world have established the ability to work at virtually identical tasks and obtained considerable respect for their achievements.

There are also cattle handlers in many other parts of the world, particularly
South America
and
Australia
, who perform work similar to the cowboy in their respective nations.
Development of the modern cowboy image

The traditions of the working cowboy were further etched into the minds of the general public with the development of
Wild West Shows
in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which showcased and romanticized the life of both cowboys and
Native Americans
.
[

Beginning in the 1920s and continuing to the present day,
Western movies
popularized the cowboy lifestyle but also formed persistent
stereotypes
, both positive and negative. In some cases, the cowboy and the violent
gunslinger
are often associated with one another. On the other hand, some actors who portrayed cowboys promoted positive values, such as the "cowboy code" of
Gene Autry
, that encouraged honorable behavior, respect and patriotism.

As the frontier ended, the cowboy life came to be highly romanticized. Exhibitions such as those of
Buffalo Bill Cody
's Wild West Show helped to popularize the image of the cowboy as an idealized representative of the tradition of
chivalry
.
In today's society, there is little understanding of the daily realities of actual agricultural life. Cowboys are more often associated with (mostly fictitious) Indian-fighting than with their actual life of
ranch
work and cattle-tending. The cowboy is also portrayed as a masculine ideal via images ranging from the
Marlboro Man
to the
Village People
.
Actors such as
John Wayne
are thought of as exemplifying a cowboy ideal, even though
western movies
seldom bear much resemblance to real cowboy life. Arguably, the modern
rodeo
competitor is much closer to being an actual cowboy, as many were actually raised on ranches and around livestock, and the rest have needed to learn livestock-handling skills on the job.
However, in the United States and the Canadian West, as well as
Australia
,
guest ranches
offer people the opportunity to ride horses and get a taste of the western life—albeit in far greater comfort. Some ranches also offer vacationers the opportunity to actually perform cowboy tasks by participating in cattle drives or accompanying
wagon trains
. This type of
vacation
was popularized by the 1991 movie
City Slickers
,
starring
Billy Crystal
.
