How Did Cowboys Find Their Way Across the Open Range?
Om avsnittet
How did cowboys guide thousands of cattle across hundreds of miles without highways, road signs, or GPS?
The answer wasn’t simply to point the herd north and follow the stars. Cowboys relied on established cattle trails, water and grass, river crossings, landmarks, local knowledge, and experienced riders who knew how to read the country.
In this episode, learn how trail bosses chose a workable route, how point riders steered the herd, and what happened when the water, weather, or landscape didn’t cooperate.
