DESCRIPTION:When Spanish settlers arrived in New Spain – later Mexico an
 d the American Southwest – they brought with them the tradition of the V
 aquero\, a horse-mounted livestock herder that originated on the Iberian P
 eninsula of Europe. As American settlers moved west\, they adopted the met
 hods of the Vaqueros for managing large herds of cattle. In the 1800s\, de
 mand for beef grew and the cattle industry boomed. Massive cattle drives t
 o railheads in towns like Sedalia\, Missouri\, Abilene\, and Dodge City\, 
 Kansas required the unique skills of the Vaquero tradition. Wranglers of H
 ispanic\, Black\, American Indian and White cowboys made the cattle indust
 ry of the mid-West a profitable enterprise. Eventually\, much of the meat 
 processing to place in Kansas City\, Kansas\, and the West Bottoms in Miss
 ouri. This presentation highlights the Vaquero culture\, including the dev
 elopment of the corrido\, a form of ballad popular among cowboys.
