**__Journal Entries-__**
===**August 13,1879 - Today I started to cook food. It is fun and exciting. The cooks make the food for the cattle drive. Today I made my first recipe it was for Lazy B Corn Fritters it was awesome,they were delicious. First for the cattle drive we needed to pack a cart full of supplies and food to eat.**===

===August 14,1879 - Today is our second day on the drive. The wagon is full and we are getting ready for the cattle drive the cowboys seem to be ready. they are practicing how to catch some cattle running for practice. Everybody seems to be having a good time on the ranch.===

===August 15,1879 - All of the cowboys got the cattle to an area of land there is 20,000 cattle we need to transport across the land. The cowboys don`t have as many as the cattle we only have a few hundred of us. Some of the cattle look angry that they are captured and put in the barbed wire fence.We only get paid after the drive so we don`t get paid for 3 months! It is time for bed so I need to go bye.===

===**August 16,1879 - Today I am at the range and praticing how to shoot my guns. Also I was using my lasso to round up some cattle and I got about 25 cattle so that is about $2,500.00 big bucks I sold them to get some money to buy the best boots around. Also with the money I got a pistol to use for the drive.**===

=__Boss-__= ===The boss' job is to brand the cattle by taking a hod metal rod and burn a mark in their hide. Also the have to make sure the cattle stay calm and don`t move or they might get an infection. The cowboy holds a rope steady on the cattle so can be ready for any moment if they run. A couple of people that are strong have to hold it down for extra support.===

//__Cook-__//
===Back in the old Westerns the person who invented the Chuck wagon is Charles Goodwright. He made it for the drives and became Texas`s official state vehicle. The cook and the cattle drive would be the cook,barber,dentist,and banker. The cook would often have a nickname as cookie.=== =**__Cowboy-__**=

A Tall Tale:
===**Once upon a time there was a cowboy named Hop Along Cassidy. He was on the ranch when a stampede was coming through the ranch, when he saw it he got his horse named Biscuits. Then he rode along side them and tried to calm them down, but he couldn`t. Since Hop Along Cassidy couldn`t stop them, he went and got Little Joe and he agreed to stop it if he got half price of selling them (if they didn`t belong to anyone). So together they got on their horses Biscuits and Porkchops. They rode out and no one owned the cattle so they were wild. They teamed up and put them in a barbed wire fence and took them to a sale in town when they calmed.So from this day on Hop Along Cassidy and Little Joe work together whenever they need help roundin' up the cattle. The End.**===
