There
are those who think the Old West ceased existing with modern living.
They think cowboys are a thing of the past or maybe only in movies or
rodeos. I suspect not many of them read Sweethearts of the West where it's more likely known that the cowboy way of life still exists.
Today,
cowboy grit is how it gets done on big and small ranches, wherever
people raise herds and live on the land, facing the elements, often not
working for much material gain, struggling with economics, and against
an encroaching modern world. It still exists in both fiction and
non-fiction.
