Established in 2000 to promote the history and culture of the American cowboy.
Howdy! Glad you stopped by.
Issue #34 of our periodic newsletter, dated December 10, 2009, has been posted for your enjoyment. Just click HERE to read some of the latest cowboy news.
CowboyDirectory.Com, established in 2000, is the world's largest internet database of Western writers and entertainers. Pard, there just ain't nothin' out there as comprehensive as this. And we are again adding new listings as well as updating current listings.
Right here in our big ol' virtual library you will find biographical sketches on hundreds Western writers, cowboy poets, singers, musicians, trick ropers, bullwhip artists, movie stars and more. These are the people who have written about the America West or who have done something to keep its Spirit alive for future generations. Plus you'll find hundreds of photos, old movie posters, book covers, poems, cowboy songs and much more. Our individual files, including graphics, now number over 2,400 and climbing each month. Some pages take a while to load just because they do have so many graphics, but it is well worth the wait.
I dedicate these pages to all those people around the world who have a deep love of the America West. That includes working cowboys and "wannabe's" alike. Whether you live in the God-made canyons of Colorado or the man-made canyons of New York City or Hong Kong, you are welcome to sit down around our little campfire.
Now a word of appreciation to my best friend, my wife Peggy. More than anyone else, she knows the thousands of hours of work that I have put into researching and writing these pages. I thank you, dear, for understanding my compulsion to write about the West I love and for your willingness to ride along the Cowboy Trail with me.
In my research, I have gathered the following photos and images from here, there and everywhere. My intent is not to violate any copyrights or trademarks. I believe my usage for this essentially personal site is well within the "fair use" guidelines of the U.S. copyright law. However, I will promptly remove any item if anyone with legal standing regarding a certain item objects to its use and provides written notification to me at the address below. Rustlin' just ain't the cowboy way, ya know, and I don't want to be guilty of that.
Enough of that. Kick off your boots, lean back and enjoy yourself.Oh, just one more thing. If you like what you see, would you please e-mail your friends and tell them about it? Muchas gracias.
