= //** Welcome to my Journal/Memoir about "The Wild, Wild, West" This is my story of life on the range....**// = = = = //**__Journal Entries__**// = //**October 5, 1865 Today I was helping Pa bring up the horses. I love Bell the best! I also had Bell and to get the cattle in the pen to ship to the east. Tomorrow I will head off on the harsh trail to the packing spots. Bye for now!**// =__A Boss__= Branding is a job for people with steady hands.So you get a cow.Then there is a hot stick with a symbol.But you have to be careful,you don't want to push the symbolized stick in too hard to give the cow an infection!

=__A Cowboy__= The cowboys job is very hard or could be easy.He is the one who helps get the cattle to the meat packging places.All cowboys dressed alike.The bandannas were used for some medical reasons.But don't forget about the cowboy boots,they were popular in the 20th century.

=__A Wrangler__=

The Wrangler is a helper to a cowboy. He/she took care of the horses. That was his/her most important job to do. Also he/she got up before everybody to find all the horses that wandered of during the night. So that is my summery for the wranglers job.

TOM TELLING TALE TELLER! This tall tale is about a cowboy who's name was Tom Bucuthchii. When he was only 5 years old he listened to tons of tall tales. His mother and father left him in the wild west because he started repeating the tall tales he has heard. That drove his parents crazy! Back then there was not many people in the west because of the drought. So this left a 7 year old in the middle of nowhere. Then Tom started walking the same way his parents went. North. Tom guessed he had walked about 20 miles when a nice couple noticed Tom. The couple asked him "hey kid do you have a fam to go to ?" Tom told the couple about what happened to him. So the couple took him to their ranch.
 * A Tall Tale:This is a tall tale so sit back and relax.

A few years went by and Tom now was 16 years old. The family's last name is Warden.**

=__A Cook__= A cook is a very important person in the cattle drive. He/she has to make enough food for everyone on the drive. Sometimes they have to make do with the food on the open. That was when they would run out of food. Hopefully the cook was thanked for their hard work, and put in a safe place in the chuck wagon. So he/she was safe to keep on cooking for the cowboys.
