Jack Terry - Heroes and Legends

A cowboy corralling longhorn cattle. There is an oil rig in the background by Jack Terry.

Texas is known for oilwells and longhorn cattle. Wildcatters staked their claims and erected their wooden towers in search of black gold at the turn of the last century. Cowboys sought their paychecks at eh end of the long trail as they herded the proud breed to the northern railhead. This day proved to be a great one for the wildcatter's as the well blew out, but the excitement and distraction caused the cattle to stampede and the cowboys to give chase. Just another day on the job for "Heroes & Legends".
