Everyday Needs for a Cowboy's Family
I hunted this cow camp in New Mexico and learned a lot by just the things I found.
. I found these items which include stove top irons for pressing Sunday clothes,conchos from some cowboy's chaps or saddle, buttons,buckles, cart wheels,garden rakes& hoes.Dutch oven pot hooks, wick adjusters for kerosene heaters,pieces of and old crank phone,most likely hooked up to the nearest barbed wire fence to talk to a neighbor,plow and harness parts,a wash basin and wash rack made od stone and supplied by the nearest windmill
I even found a piece of a woman's makeup compact. Even in the middle of nowhere a woman from long ago thought there was a need to look pretty !
I remember seeing some of these things when I was a tot ,but most likely they were in the endangered species list by then. It instills,in me, a respect for the people who settled our great country and the hardships they must have endured to make ends meet. My hat is off to the pioneers of this country from the pilgrims to the cowboys, miners, ranchers & farmers. God bless you all! And thank you for the country you suffered so hard to build! Rest assured the treasure hunters on this web site will never let your sacrifices be forgotten, by bringing our finds to the forefront to be enjoyed and acknowledged by the world! The Kid
