There are a ton of myth that are associated with cowboys..... The ghost riders are just one of the many......... Also in the beginning 7 out of 10 cowboys were black and 2 were Mexican and only one out of every ten cowboys was white.... And these are historical facts....................

Use your search engine or visit your local library......................................................................................
