Since the XVI century, when the territory of modern America began to explore Spanish and Portuguese colonists, there began to deliver a large consignment of cows and horses. Under maintenance and grazing was given extensive tracts of land. These estates, or rather, livestock farms, called ranches. This word, apparently, has Spanish roots and means the area allocated for pastures, but also residential buildings for people caring for animals.

Cowboy romance of the Wild West

For fans of American westerns ranch – is a large farmhouse surrounded by a wooden fence. Near grazing horses managed by the brave cowboy, periodically entering the fight with the bloodthirsty Indians or competing in shooting and skill with the owners of neighboring properties.

this Ranch

This view is close to the truth, but with some reservations. Cowboy was not the owner of the estate, and employee, whose duty was to care for the cattle, the search for the runaway animals, the stretch of thousands of herds of cows and bulls to the railway stations.

The Cowboys began to be hired into the service of the rich soopramanien after the Civil war that ended slavery. Until 1865 all of the hard work on the ranch was performed by slaves, mostly Negroes, belonging on the property right of slaveholders in the number of white colonists. And the cowboys fate was unenviable: for their work they received a very modest fee that was spent on clothes and booze.
