Explore the life of the cowboy who spent up to four straight months in the saddle, often in the same clothes every day.  He ate every meal at the chuck wagon, drinking nothing but coffee and water.  At night,  if a storm came and the cattle started running, it was the cowboy's job to jump on his horse to head off the cattle and round them up safely. 

It was a dangerous job riding through the dark, with prairie dog holes all around, not knowing if the next turn would be your last.  And did you know that cowboys really did sing to their cattle?  The singing was supposed to soothe the cattle and it really did.  Two cowboys on guard would circle around with their horses on a walk.  If it were a clear night with the cattle bedded down and quiet, one man would sing a verse of a song, and his partner on the other side of the herd would sing another verse.  The cowboys would go through a whole song that way, right through the night.
