Pampered Cowboy

The life of a cowboy in the late nineteenth century was far from romantic and glorious. Cowboys made about a dollar a day and worked from sunup to sundown in the broiling sun and biting cold. But that doesn’t stop many of us from wanting to be a cowboy or cowgirl when we grow up. We really don’t want to rough it for too long, though; we like to be pampered. In Texas you can be pampered: You can ride a horse up a mountainside or watch real cowboys hard at work, and enjoy a gourmet meal and sleep in a comfortable bed.
