Long before the cattle trails saw 'drovers' and herds of Longhorns headin' north, the history and heritage of the cowboy had fashioned a breed of hombre that could stand all odds. Since then, the culture of the cowboy has weathered the fickle nature of change, the tedium of time and got down to the hard work of building a nation governed by the spirit of its own free nature - and the world will forever bare the brand of their presence.

The roots of the cowboy go back to the very discovery of the new world and Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, the first known European explorer to step onto what would be Texas' soil. Many people, the environs and a long series of related and unrelated events came into play in making the cowboy, the culture and state of mind it has become.

"Web" Masters

"Web's" sorta the work horse around here. Don't say much - just keeps his face pointed toward the computer monitor an' you don't hear much out of 'im. Won't find no page about 'im neither; he's sorta shy that way.

Loco likes for folks to think he's crazy but he's crazy like a fox. He said he'd write his own short bio for the 'about area' of TexianCowboy.com. As soon as it's ready there will be a link here.

The Ramrod

Fer the first time in my life, I'm the best lookin' hombre of the bunch. Gene calls us The Wild Bunch but I figger it's more like The Mild Bunch. All of us have done some purdy roudy stuff, even real recent, but our ways have sure simmered down since our younger days. It usually turns out that I'm the inspiration around here Guess that's what being a ramrod is all about. Click here or on the graphic to see my bio.
