Joseph McCoy

 Joseph McCoy

Jesse Chisholm was an American fur trader who was able to create a trail between 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 an American fur trader. Joseph McCoy had a cattle ranch and added to the Chisholm trail by increasing the trail to Abelene, Kansas. McCoy may have been 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. True American Cowboys did not attempt to take all the wild cattle and all the land in the 1800s. 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 creating a trail that led 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 1940s 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. The greedy traders in the 1800s attempted to emulate Swan without actually steering and domesticating wild cattle. Greedy traders bought large amounts of land, prevented competition, and did not even steer cattle. The greedy traders had their cattle destroyed. It is probable that their own greed caused financial difficulties to the greedy traders who were not actually American, Cowboys, nor Christian. Despite the envy, the cowboy work ethic was instilled to newer generations in the 1900s and most of our grandparents also admired and respected the industriousness and integrity of brave cowboys. (Would describe why grandparents were resilient and impressive.) Cowboys were humble, industrious, ethical, and courageous. Our grandparents probably learned about the cowboy generation of the 1800s and admired bravery and valor instead of socialism and envy. Maybe that is why grandparents hated socialism and preferred Christianity. Maybe that was why the covid "virus of unknown strain" and experimental "vaccine" was created to prevent younger generations from learning about history from their grandparents and prevent virtues from being instructed. (There were commercials in 2021 that stated that younger individuals should not speak to their grandparents because it could cause covid "infections". Probably to prevent younger individuals from learning about history and virtues.) Grandparents saw straight through socialism especially the being a snitch part and instructed integrity. The Cowboy work ethic was impressive and describes why the United States became impressive because of integrity and industriousness.)
