Forget what you see in the movies! Grab your lasso and get ready to
ride into the real 1800s American West! Did you know the very first
cowboys didn't wear big wide-brimmed hats? They were Spanish and
Mexican vaqueros who often wore bowler hats! Join Mira and Finn on
History's Not Boring as they uncover the wild, dusty, and amazing
true story of cowboys! Discover how a tiny crew of ten to twelve
riders (many of them formerly enslaved Black men seeking freedom)
moved a massive ocean of five million longhorn cattle hundreds of
miles across the country. We'll learn all about the chuckwagon
kitchen, the awful job of the drag rider who had to eat cow dust
all day, and the terrifying danger of a midnight cattle stampede!
How did they stop three thousand giant cows with seven-foot horns
from crushing everything in their path? And what finally put an end
to the open-range cattle drives? Saddle up for an epic adventure,
and see if you can ace the trivia quiz at the end!
