Jesse Chisholm

 Jesse Chisholm

Jesse Chisholm was an American cowboy who was able to steer cattle from Texas to Kansas. Chisholm was not greedy and actually helped other cowboys obtain cattle in another state and return safely to their land. Chisholm is noted to be another cowboy similar to Swan who steered cattle and provided for himself. 

It is interesting how Americans began to settle in the West in the 1800s after finding out that the United States had large amounts of land. Individuals that explored the West also learned about cattle steering and ranching. Many cowboys had learned about integrity and discipline and improved upon their circumstances. Cowboys in the 1800s are noted to have been resilient and disciplined due to the challenge of domesticating wild cattle.

While there were large amounts of land and grazing wild cattle, cowboys were not greedy. They lived in specific land and only took enough  wild cattle to provide for themselves but not with the intention to prevent others from also improving their circumstances. Cowboys in the 1800s were also Christian. The American Cowboys were actually ethical because they grew up with sermons and learning about Christianity knowing that the United States was founded by Pilgrims and Puritans.

Chisholm was noted for going to Texas and obtaining and streering wild cattle to Kansas safely. He created a trail that allowed other cowboys and ranchers to safely navigate the land with wild cattle and return back safely. It was noted that there were significant dangers in the land including dangerous rivers, hostile native americans (who did peyote), and the need to avoid discouragements and keep motivated and disciplined knowing that it was not an easy task. Cattle steering was no easy task, yet cowboys made it look it easy. The United States increased in population numbers and had abundant resources because of the worship of GOD Almighty. The worship of GOD Almighty allowed individuals to prosper in the 1800s. (Despite socialism ridiculing and envying cowboys since the 1950s because of their work ethic, real ethical cowboys from the 1800s were amazing and disciplined. They also practiced genuine empathy and were not greedy nor idolatrous.)
