This section of WestWeb provides information about cowboys (and cowgirls) in the American West. Like much of the rest of WestWeb, it is constantly changing and developing. Under Cowboy/Cowgirl Culture Links, you will find numerous links to sites around the World Wide Web devoted to Cowboy Studies. Under Cowboys and Ranching, you will find some sources that place cowboys in their historical and economic contexts. Under Biographical Resources, you will discover links to biograhies of cowboys and cowgirls of yore. Under Historical Images of Cowboys, you'll find photographic sites and images.

Cowboy/Cowgirl Culture Links
-
One of the best, Edith Frost's Cowgal's Home on the Web.
American Cowboy magazine.
Wild West magazine, "Chronicling the American Frontier."
The Cowboy Place, a site dedicated to the Canadian Cowboy.
The Gunfighter's Favorite Links has a lot of information about guns and shooting.
Cowboys.Com, "The Original Western Web Site."
Cowboy Pal offers information on that great Hollywood institution, the Western movie. And while you are at it, try looking at Native Americans in Film and Television: A Select Bibliography and the University of California-Berkeley Library's Movies, Race, and Ethnicity for some contrasts.
Of course, there's also Cowboy Poets on the Internet.
There are even homepages for Louis L'Amour and Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, although the latter seems to mainly want to sell you china with Roy's and Dale's faces on it. Hmm. Give me Gene Autry any old day.
Cowboy music is addressed in a site devoted to the History of Country Music.
And don't forget your Lyrics to Old Cowboy or Folk Songs, from a searchable lyrics database.
Pendleton Cowgirl Company Postcard Express.
