were luck to make $20.00 a month. Some larger ones may have paid $30.00. That amount provided room and board (maybe the use of a horse). The cowboy provided everything else. I've read they may have bought rounds by each instead of by the box. That's why most of them didn't own much.

Bit of western history maybe. Sounds good. - SPB, 2019-02-13, 14:32
- at 12¢ each a box of ammo would be $6. A cowboy made - Gary Reeder, 2019-02-13, 17:02
