They were men who worked the cattle herds and took them to market. Many of the men were vets from the Civil War and they went west to look for work because after the war there was little work to be found in the East/South or were all ready there because they were part of the Union army fighting the Indian wars. All the way to the late 1890's the cowboy existed but as it got closer to the 1900's they were no longer as needed or replaced by something else.
