=//Welcome to my Journal/Memoir about "The Wild, Wild, West"//= = = = = =__Journal Entries__= June 22, 1875 Today me and my horse,Buddy saw a bandit. We took him down (Buddy and me). Luckily we found a town. Me and Buddy went to town.We bought some supplies.I needed some bullets and some food for Buddy.

June 23,1875 Today was my first day lassoing.I rounded up six doggies.(Doggies is Cowboy slang for cattle.)

July 5, 1875 today I learned how to sing this song called GET ALONG,LITTLE DOGGIES As I was a-walking one morning for pleasure, I spied a young cowpuncher a-riding alone. His hat was throwed back and his spurs was a-jingling, As he approached me a-singing this song.

Whoopee ti yi yo, git along, little dogies, It's your misfortune and none of my own, Whoopee ti yi yo, git along, little dogies, For you know Wyoming will be your new home.

Some fellows goes up the trail for pleasure, But that's where they've got it most awfully wrong, For you haven't an idea the trouble they give us, As we go a-driving them dogies along.

Whoopee ti yi yo, git along, little dogies, It's your misfortune and none of my own, Whoopee ti yi yo, git along, little dogies, For you know Wyoming will be your new home.

I also met Buddy Clark and Cyclone Henry hanging out together.

=__A Boss__= Branding: We know about branding because they did this back in 2700 B.C. They branded so they could know whose cattle is whose. They did this in the Wild West too.

=__A Cook__= The cook feeds the cowboy.The cook rides in front of the cowboy.He was the most important man/woman on the trail.Since there were so few towns missing items couldn't be replaced that well. = = Lazy B Corn Fritters 1 1/4 cup flour 2 cups corn 1 tsp. baking powder 2 tsp. salt

1/2 cup sugar 1/4 tsp. paprika 2 eggs 1/4 cup milk Stir dry ingredients together and add corn. Then add the egg yolks beaten thick and fold in egg whites beaten stiff. Fry in hot lard. Try to use a cold bowl to beat the egg whites if possible.

=__A Cowboy__= Cowboys lived a harsh life.They lived a harsh life becuse of all of the rattle snakes,cacti,and some bulls. =__A Wrangler__=

The wrangler was usually a young boy who picked up a thing or two from his folks about wrangling.His main responsibility was to care for the remuda (herd of horses).

A Tall Tale:
A long time ago there was a cowboy named Buddy Clark. When he was just a wee little boy ('bout eight years old), he made a gazillion friends. He was with his friends walking to town when they saw a snake. The snake attacked and hurt Cyclone Henry!Well luckily there was a town nearby.Buddy Clark was smart So Buddy Clark put his bandana around his leg and Buddy Clark and Tommy Wakely carried Cyclone Henry to a doctor. = =
