Cowboys Going to Dinner, Wyoming Territory, 1880-1889
01
Artifact Overview
The Wyoming cattle boom began soon after the Civil War. Ranchers hired cowboys to tend the herds that roamed the open range. Cowboys rounded up cattle, branded calves, and drove the herd to market among other jobs. Here, hard-working cowboys have some fun as they race toward the photographer waving their hats.
