The Authentic American West

The American cowboy is recognized world-wide.  Cowboys can be found working from the lower deserts of Mexico to the wilds of British Columbia and beyond.  Cowboys still live in bunkhouses, cow camps, line shacks, and teepee tents; they still eat from a chuckwagon. 
We, at Cowboy Showcase, have attempted to let you, the Internet visitor, take a look at the most authentic cowboy Web site in the world.  Come ride cyberspace with us as we explore the real life of the Cowboy.
You can help keep that true western spirit alive.  Tell a cowboy tale or poem, pass along a favorite Dutch oven recipe, share your knowledge or craft, and make this showcase a more exciting virtual real cowboy experience.
