ResumoThe modern American cowboy is an anachronism, or, in the words to song by Kris Kristofferson, a walking contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction. On the rodeo circuit, you can find bull—riders from Brooklyn; on the range are ranchers riding herd on Honda motorcycles or surveying their spread from the cockpit of Cessna. The striking thing about this blend of past and present is that it does not seem unusual at all, particularly to those who are doing it.
