Eighty riders, 190 way stations, 500 horses. The Pony Express was the first “express” mail line across the United States. For its time it was a marvel of innovation, organization, ingenuity and sheer plain guts.

Sporting ladies, scarlet women, dance hall girls, sweethearts of the night, soiled doves. It had many names, but throughout the American West, prostitution was big business.

They are all as much a part of the legend of the Old West as any cowboy, outlaw or sheriff.

Cattle drives were a major economic activity in the 19th/early 20th C American West, From the end of the Civil War until 1890, some 27m cattle were driven from Texas to railheads in Kansas, for shipment to stockyards in Louisiana and points east.

Today is National Day of the American #Cowboy.

Whether you answer to cowboy, cowhand, cowpoke, buckaroo, or cowpuncher, today is for you.

Here's to the American Cowboy - a tradition and a lifestyle that will never die!

Stagecoaches were built strong; they carried passengers, mail, gold, silver, baggage, and arms, were high enough to ford rivers, tough enough to traverse rocky terrain, climb narrow mountain roads, and withstand blistering heat and freezing cold.

This looks just like the backrop of any of my #wildwest dreams.... all it is missing is someone getting thrown through a window

Wagons pulling into El Paso, 1890s. It's kind of crazy to see cattle just roaming free in the street. Wonderful photo.

Lovely picture - great job!

"Beans are ready, boys. Eat'em or don't, ain't no skin off my nose. Any more complainin' and you'll have skunk for supper."

A cattle drive cook works his magic in front of his chuckwagon.

Woe be it for any cowhand who fell foul of the cook.

A.A. Spaugh 1884 Wyoming arrived with a trail herd of Texas cattle in 1874. Became foreman of the Converse Cattle Company in 1880- in 1885 he began ranching on his own near the town of Manville. Look at that beauty of a horse!

Wow, what a face indeed! Many a story carved into those features

Bill Drannan, Indian scout & friend of Kit Carson, as photographed by noted photographer Noah Hamilton Rose in San Antonio. Circa 1890-1895. Drannan passed away in 1913 and is buried in Mineral Wells. What a face! He resembles actor Will Geer aka Grandpa Walton on "The Waltons."

"Don't mess with Texas, boy, it's the last mistake you'll ever make."*

This is Texas Ranger James Hawkins, circa 1875. And that's a stare that would stop a bullet dead in its tracks.

*not a real quote from James

Vegetable vendors in San Antonio's military plaza, 1880s. If I could step back in time and wander around this plaza for an hour or two, I would. Courtesy UTSA's fantastic archives. You can view a slew of wonderful historic photos of the Alamo City here: https://t.co/ezbFY4A3B9
