What Everything a Cowboy Owned in the Wild West Was REALLY Like

Hollywood shows you a cowboy who owns everything — a ranch, a wardrobe, a wall of guns. The truth is smaller: a working trail hand owned so little that everything he had in the world fit inside one bag. Sam packs for a cattle drive and lays his whole life out on a blanket, item by item: the war bag itself, the bedroll he slept in, the saddle worth more than anything else he owned, the hat, the boots, the bandana that did ten jobs, the slicker, the rope that mattered more than any gun, the pocketknife, the cheap revolver — or none at all — and the letters at the bottom of the bag.
