The Real Life of the Cowboy This article may not be associated with game cheat, but I was intrigued once to pick it up. This is about cowboy. If I ask you, what do you think when hearing the games like Sunset Riders, Gun, Call of Juarez and Red Dead Redemption? Maybe most of us would answer the same thing, that is Cowboy! It is inevitable that the Cowboys figure is often raised in the video games. Either as pratagonis or antagonist. Who are they? Cowboy is actually a term for a herdsman on ranch in North America. But the actual origin of the Cowboys first appeared in Spain. Where at the beginning of the 16th century, they brought their traditions to New Spain - or what we now know with Mexico. In the early 1600s the Spanish culture began to be followed by Mexico communities, and shortly thereafter followed by American society. Cowboy own words appeared in English the first time in 1725. This word seems to be a translation from Spanyol "Vaquero", which means one who graze cattle on horseback. American Cowboy is also often called the "Buckaroo" - commonly used in California and the surrounding area, "Cowhand" and "Cowpoke". While in Texas and surrounding communities are often called Cowboy as "Cowpuncher". Of course to become a Cowboy is not enough just to use the leather pants, cowboy hats and boots. A person who can be recognized as a Cowboy, of course must possess courage as well as specialized skills that is characteristic of a Cowboy, such as horseback riding, tie rope, herd cattle, shoot and other things. The emergence of the American Cowboy in itself was started in late 1860. After the end of civil war in that country and the ever expanding livestock industry, the former soldiers from both sides began in droves to find work, including some African-American sare also interested to become a Cowboy. But the majority of the time was Cowboy Mexicans and American Indians who inhabited the place. In those days, many Indian tribes who worked on many ranches that exist to care for livestock. Especially after 1890, when the American government to assimilate to the Indian people, therefore it is not surprising to see many Indian tribes that became Cowboy moment. Even many Indians who worked on Cowboy rodeo circuit. Rodeo itself seems inseparable from the history of the Cowboy. It actually started when the Cowboys each pitting their skills as well as boasting the ability to handle their livestock. They also bet each other when doing so. Finally, "The Wild West Show" chose the Cowboys are then used as entertainment. Although the show is finally dissolved, until now Rodeo still often used as an entertaining spectacle. Although many games and films nowadays often picked up the story about the classic battle between the Cowboys against the wild Indians, in fact it is not always the case.

Cowboy at that timenot only specific to the Indians, but to all people (including wild animals) who attack their herd. In fact, the Indians are more often in conflict with the U.S. Army that was in place. In the late 1800s, the territory of Oklahoma and Indian increasinglyvisited by various parties, including criminals and bandits. This is because among other law enforcement in the area is not sufficiently clear at first, coupled with the region that has many reefs and cavesthat can be used as a hideout for bandits are strategic. Althoughactually the bandit is not a Cowboy, but rather tept called Outlaw. The bandit in Oklahoma operated by robbing banks and trains up to steal horses and cattle. Some of these are very dangerousbandits and became a legend to this day, as well as the Marshaland other law enforcement officials are always chasing them. AsBill Doolin, one of the bandits are quite famous at that time. Hemanaged to escape and forcing a Marshall named Heck Ghomasto hunt up to three years. But Thomas finally managed to catch and finish. Speaking of the Cowboys, is not complete without talking about Henry McCarty, also known by the name of William H. Bonney aka Billy the Kid. Legend has it that he has killed more than 20 whites, Indians and also Mexico. But in fact only 4 pieces proved successful assassination and charged him. Many people assume that the rumors about him have killed more than 20 people are intentionally propagated by the political interests at the time. One of the things that are known up to now is how Billy the Kid must die at the hands of a named Sheriff Pat Garrett, who are widely considered as one of his best friend of Billy The Kid, before she decided to become a sheriff and his own companions hunt then head valued at up to $ 500. Despite evidence that they had been good friends until now still being debated. Clarity about how Pat Garrett had killed Billy The Kid also has not been established until now. Rumor has it that on July 14, 1881, Sheriff Garet and two of his men spent the night at home Maxell Pedro who was one close to The Kid. And before midnight, a sudden Billy the Kid entered in the same room occupied by Pat Garrett. From here there are 2 pieces of different versions. The first version says that when Billy the Kid entered the room, he can not recognize Pat Garret because the lights are dim. He was then away, pulling out his gun and asked in Spanish "Quién es? Quién es?" which means "Who is it". Garret who recognize the voice of the later issued a pistol and shot him twice. The first shots of Billy the Kid's head that eventually killed him. While the second version menyembutkan that at that time Billy the Kid was actually toward the kitchen carrying a knife, and saw there was someone in the dark. He later asked the same question. And then ambushed by Sheriff Pat Garrett. Many historians assume that the second version is correct.

But there are also other versions in circulation, in which Pat Garrett holding the sister of Pedro, that Paulita Maxell, which is likely to be married by Billy the Kid. Pat Garret and tie holding Paulita in bed and then waited for the arrival of his enemies. When Billy entered the room, Pat Garrett who hide behind the bed Paulita suddenly came out and shot Billy the Kid. Indeed, history is often recorded on the stories of the Cowboy, but that does not mean it is only dominated by men. Many women are also well known as a Cowgirl. Especially after "Wild West Show," gives a performance that shows the action of the Cowgirl. In the show they showed their captivating action and opened the eyes of many who doubted that they were no less agile with the Cowboys. Some are known Cowgirl Annie Oakley and May Lillie. Not only that until today there are many models that follow the style of the Cowgirl. At the Cowboy culture is probably no longer too followed. But that does not mean we can no longer see the exciting action of the Cowboy and Cowgirl, because until now there are many game developers are very keen to lift their stories into a game. One of them, of course the game Red Dead Redmption planned to be released this year. Ok, now your turn to comment about The Real Life of the Cowboy......
