A cowboy is the ideal American figure because he comes packing with two Colt .45 Revolvers, and a double barrel shotgun, plus a 1HP...Horse.

1. an adventurous hero

John Wayne, Tex Ritter, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry were some of the most famous cowboys.

"I should've been a Cowboy
I should'be learned to rope and ride
Wearing my six-shooter riding by pony on a cattle drive
Stealing the young girl's hearts
Just like Gene and Roy
Singing those campfire songs
I should've been a cowboy"

John Wayne could stare down an army.

Of course, he was a cowboy
