What are facts about cowboys?

The Cowboys almost always wear basic white jerseys, their helmet design is timeless and classic, and their basic aesthetic approach is blissfully free of extraneous bells and whistles. All in all, they present a simple, straightforward look. Cowboys were hardly allowed any contact with decent women. Many cowboys therefore organized "stag-dances" where some of them dressed-up as women and danced with the other cowboys In the later part of the 19th century swarms of American Cowboys went north following the shrinking cowboy frontier. And in Southern Alberta the Montana Whiskey Traders established their headquarters and aptly named it Fort Whoop-Up. Now that Americans have to tighten belts, a small but important accessory becomes ever more integral to the psyche of the modern-day cowboy. Whether you seek utility or bling, you still have to be able to be able to keep your damn britches on. Buckaroos and Buckarettes, may I re-introduce...the belt buckle.
