Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame

Posted by

tchfTexas is cowboys. After the Civil War the Texas economy suffered, but its cattle industry continued to thrive. From the mid to late 1800s driving cattle was a popular form of work. Longhorn cows were driven (and not by car) from Texas to the north and eastern United States by cowboys, hence the association with everything cowboy. If you’re Texan or just visiting, take a gander over to the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame.
