Do cowboys ride cows or horses? Great gods, help!

The origin of American cowboy is not riding a horse called messenger, but riding a cowboy with a horn. Cowboys in the United States are driven away by cows all year round. Americans call cowboys who drive cows. Cowboys don't ride cows, they ride horses, haha-the hero on horseback-American cowboys-. In the film, people can often see: a tall and strong cowboy, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, tights, narrow-legged pants, boots, and a fire truck gun hanging from his hip. When the gangsters fell to the ground one by one, they rode away as if nothing had happened. Romantic legends, coupled with exciting gun battles and fights, seem to constitute the whole content of cowboy life. However, movies are not history after all. In American history, cowboy's life is not riding a horse to chase gangsters and fight violence. They are pioneers in the development of the western United States. They are adventurous and hardworking, so they are called "heroes on horseback" by Americans. If you want to talk about American cowboys, you must first talk about American cows. Americans are descendants of European immigrants, and American cattle are descendants of Europe. Cows in America were originally brought by Columbus. At that time, he brought Spanish cattle to the West Indies and the coastal areas of Central and South America. 1525, Spanish cattle began to be introduced to the North American continent from the West Indies. 16 1 1 year, the British transported a large number of cattle to James City, Virginia. Since then, British cattle have been widely propagated in the North American continent, and many breeding places have appeared. 1540, Spanish explorer coronado crossed the Atlantic Ocean and searched for the legendary "Seven Treasures City of Seppola" in North America. He also took 500 cows to northern Mexico today and Arizona today. Since then, cattle have been breeding and gradually spread all over northern Mexico and Jalisco. By the beginning of17th century, there were more than 65,438+10,000 cows in Jalisco. In short, American cattle entered from the east and south and gradually spread all over the country. /kloc-In the early 8th century, cows appeared in Ohio and Kentucky. Kentucky means grassland in Indian, and it is also known as the state of green grass. Illinois, which is adjacent to Kentucky, is called "grassland country" by Indians and is a paradise for cattle. By the middle of the19th century, the technology of taming and raising cattle there was very clever. After the Civil War, cattle moved westward to the vast grassland west of the Mississippi River and became the "cattle kingdom". Spanish cattle imported from southern Mexico also proliferated. In the late19th century, Texas had 50 million cattle, which was the most cattle-raising state in the United States. From 65438 to the 1960s, Texans drove a large number of cattle northward to the railroad side of Kansas and then resold them all over the United States. At that time, there were also special "Niudao" and "Niuzhen", in which "Niudao" was the road for cattle and "Niuzhen" was a stop along the way. Cattle travel long distances through states and counties. Of course, they need someone to lead and take care of them. Such people are "heroes on horseback"-cowboys. In the long and arduous journey, cowboys must be hard-working, witty and brave, calm and calm, and be able to cope with all kinds of unexpected accidents and dangers on the way. First of all, we should control semi-tame cattle, especially fierce Spanish cattle. The cowboys followed the cattle, keeping an eye on them and not relaxing for a moment. Along the way, we should also pay attention to the attacks of wild animals such as wolves, poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, and guard against Indian cold arrows and javelins. Sometimes there may be sudden thunderstorms. Lightning and thunder often lead to panic and cattle running around. Cowboys should calmly circle around them and form a circle to eliminate panic. Cowboys travel long distances with cattle like a large-scale March. Cowboys escorting oversized cows should have a strict division of labor and perform their duties. There are often two most experienced people as the chief commander and a correspondent, who are responsible for passing messages around. In addition, there is a "tour ride", which patrols flexibly from front to back and left and right. "Yiqi" marched on both sides of the team, and "Weiqi" was behind the house, specializing in calves, sick cows and lazy cows. Cowboys, some of whom are herders themselves, are mostly employees of livestock merchants, and they have played an important role in the westward migration of residents in the eastern United States. Cowboys' long-distance grazing is pioneering in itself, and they directly open the way for people who move westward. /kloc-at the end of 0/9, the traffic in the United States is increasingly developed, and the status of cowboys is gradually decreasing. They jumped ship one after another, and people saw their lithe figures less and less. But their enterprising and pioneering spirit has always inspired Americans. People often associate cowboys with jeans. In fact, the most prominent symbol of cowboys in those days was not jeans, but their hats. Cowboys often wear Mexican-style wide-brimmed top hats, which have many uses. They can not only help keep out the hot sun and rain, but also be used as pillows and even scoop water for drinking. Jeans first appeared in1the early 1950s in the western United States. 1In the 1940s, gold mines were discovered in California, and people rushed to find gold. A man named Levi Strauss also arrived in California. He used to be a cloth dealer and took some canvas with him to make tents and roofs. Once, he found that the cotton trousers worn by the gold digger were very easy to break, so he had a brainwave and cut the thick canvas he brought into pants for sale. Pants are designed in the style of low waist, straight tube and small hip circumference, which is very popular with gold diggers. Soon, more cowboys also liked this kind of clothing, which was later called "jeans". Levi Strauss gave up his plan to seek gold and made a fortune by selling trousers. Later, he changed his trousers into indigo twill, applied for a patent at 187 1 and established Levi's Company. Later, it developed into a multinational company, with sales networks all over the world and annual profits of hundreds of millions of dollars. -
