Cowboy Figurines

	Given the large role that they played in the settling of the American West, it’s little wonder that cowboy figurines have become not only one of the most frequently sculpted images of Americana, but a reminder that our country was explored, tamed and settled by men on horseback. Here are some of the more memorable characters and events from an era that will live on in our history books and homes.

Cowboy Figurines

Bronco Charlie – Enjoyed brief, but memorable career as a Pony Express rider. His first ride from Sacramento to Placerville in July of 1861, made him the youngest ever rider at the age of 11. In his brief five month stint with the Pony Express, which was disbanded five months later, Charlie would ride 150 miles in 24 hours, changing horses 18 times. In 1931, he took it a bit slower. At the age of 81, he rode from New York to San Francisco, over a span of seven months, to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Pony Express.

Wild Bill Hickock – (1837-1876) Historians aren’t really sure if Hickock was the hero he was made out to be, or just a cowboy with a good spin doctor. His Civil War exploits as a scout, advisor and marksman, literally demanded that he keep up the image after the last shot was fired. His handiness with guns was part of the image, and readily got him several jobs as a marshal after the war. But eventually, he drifted back to that great cowboy pastime, gambling. In 1876, he broke his own rule of never sitting down to a poker game with is back not against the wall. Jack McCall walked up behind him, and shot Hickock, who dropped what is now known as the “dead man’s hand” of poker. A miner’s court, convened in the bar, let McCall go free, after he claimed that Hickock had murdered his brother. But less than a year later, after bragging once too often about having killed a legend, McCall was arrested and hanged. The dead man’s poker hand consisted of the black eights, and aces, plus one other card. A witness at McCall’s trial claimed it was the jack of diamonds. A recreation in the town museum shortly after, used the nine of diamonds. Most of the town burned in 1879, and the museum standing today, completes the hand with the five of diamonds.

Cowboys and Cattle Drives – The one event that has forever seared the image of a cowboy in the minds of Americans and others who read American history, is that of the Texas cattle drives. The drives started, and ended, in a period of just under 20 years, but are remembered for the rough, tough lifestyle of the men who controlled literally thousands of untamed animals. After the Civil War, the North was lacking the food supplies that used to come from the South, and the South itself was bankrupt. Longhorn cattle ran free and wild in southern ranges like Texas, and any man who could round up enough to make small herd for himself, would do well at market. But the markets were a long way from Texas, and so the cattle drives were on. A herd was established, and a “lead steer” chosen. This was an animal that had been on the drive before, and quite literally knew where he was going. These animals were used over and over, either being driven home by the cowboys, or allowed to turn around and head home on their own.

When cattle prices plunged in the mid 1880s, that, along with bad weather and poor range management heralded the end of the cattle drive. But during that golden era, some 40,000 cowboys traversed the plains, in a bone-grinding round trip that made lesser men, shudder. The average age of a cattle driver, was 24.

Today, we recall those glory days with model memorabilia such as a saddle on a hitching post, a Connestoga wagon, stage coaches, and replica guns of the Old West. Perhaps some of the most evocative cowboy figurines, which are real treasures for the collector, are the bronze sculptures that celebrate every intricate detail of the man, his horse, and their role in history.
