The era of cow-boy :

The era of cowboy was born in 1865 and 1890. Be a cowboy is a job and this era was born in America and
especially in west. The cowboy played an important role during the era of U.S. westward expansion. The cowboy
created a style and reputation all their own. Throughout history, their iconic lifestyle has been glamorized in
countless books, movies and television shows but the rough, lonely and sometimes grueling work of a cowboy
wasn’t for the faint of heart
During the winter of 1886-1887, thousands of cattle died when temperatures reached levels well below 0°C in parts
of the West. Many scholars believe that devastating winter marked the beginning of the end of the cowboy era.

Why would i want to live in the era of cowboy ?

I have always felt attracted to animals and in particular to horses. I loved always the smell of the stable. I have
friends who have horses and sometimes I try it. I love the feeling of the freedom and fulfillment that I fell when I go
riding alone and I am passionate when I leave hours alone with a horse, in a magnificent and sometimes hostile
territories… an indescribable complicity is created. I like the atmosphere from the era of cowboy. I am passionate
by the world of dust, colt duels, horses, equipment, hats, weapons, clothesbut above all the action of western films
and especially during dueling scenes who gives me longing to become a cowboy and leave at this era
If I would have lived at that era I would have ridden horses all day long, I would have often done duels because I
love the action and the pressure we feel. I would also have made conquests of gold to pay me a ranch, guns,
horses...
