Cowboy Getup...
A kid walked up to a guy wearing a 10-gallon hat, leather vest, leather chaps, and sneakers. The kid asked him, "Mr. Cowboy, why do you wear that big hat?"
The cowboy replied, "Well, son, the big hat protects me from hot sun and driving rain, and at night I put it over my face when I sleep on the range, so it protects me then, too."
"Why do you wear that leather vest?" "It also helps to keep the weather off me, and it has pockets where I can keep my valuables."
"Well, why do you wear leather chaps?" "They protect my legs when I'm driving my horse through mesquite and cactus."
"Well then Mr. Cowboy," the kid finally asked, "Why do you wear sneakers?" "That's so somebody won't think I'm a damn truck driver."

Cowboy's Camp Cook...
A camp cook was also known as "cookie. He was the cook on the range when cowboys drove cattle.
He was the most important person in camp and had to be quite resourceful in providing three hot square meals a day, rain or shine, cold or hot. Most were older white men, retired from cowboying but blacks, and foreign born men also fit the bill if they could cook up a storm. They were also called among other things, biscuit shooters, bean masters and belly cheaters.
A cook's work was never done, as so it was true on the cattle drive. S ince all the directions a drive took were guided by the North Star, it was the camp cook's duty each night to look up, note the North Star and turn the tongue of the chuck wagon toward it. That way, the next morning, the drive would know which way to head out. |
