text: Cowboys are specifiacally AMERICAN!!!!  What country do you think of when you see a cowboy????  Russia?\n\nNot even SOUTH AMERICA or NEW ZEALAND comes to mind.  You automatically think Midwest to fully west.  Cowboys carved out a whole area of the United States and are our heros and villians of yesteryear.  They are one of our mythologies...like the 1920's mafia or 1930's bank robber.
