The Cowboy Tradition
The word “cowboy” has its origins in the Spanish word “vaquero.” The term means a livestock herder who rides a horse. In addition, the cowboy tradition has both Spanish and European roots. To be a cowboy, you needed a lot of strength and skills from an early age. A cowboy’s standard attire included a pair of jeans, a bandana, leather gloves, boots, and of course, a wide-brimmed cowboy hat.
