A rider on horseback looks out over a herd of cattle, a scene that captures the working life of the American range. Cattle drives and open-range ranching shaped the West from the years after the Civil War into the 1880s, when cowhands moved large herds from Texas to railheads in Kansas and beyond. The cowboy's position on a rise, watching the herd below, reflects the watchful, mounted work of keeping cattle together and moving them safely. Images like this one helped define the cowboy as an American symbol long after the open range had given way to fenced pastures.
