The life of a cowboy in the late nineteenth century was far from romantic and glorious. Cowboys made about a dollar a day and worked from sunup to sundown in the broiling sun and biting cold. But that doesn't stop many of us from wanting to be a cowboy or cowgirl when we grow up. We really don't want to rough it for too long, though; we like to be pampered. In Texas you can be pampered: You can ride a horse up a mountainside or watch real cowboys hard at work, and enjoy a gourmet meal and sleep in a comfortable bed.
Pampered Cowboy is a travel guide to the best bed and breakfasts, hotels, ranches, and resorts in Texas that reflect a Western theme in their history, location or decor. Also included are sections on cowboy shopping and cowboy eating, because cowboys like to dress the part and enjoy a good meal. You'll also find profiles on some of the best in the business who go out of their way to help you. That's the cowboy way.
Johnny D. Boggs writes Western novels, short stories, and articles. He also wrote "That Terrible Texas Weather". He lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with his wife, Lisa.
