A long long time ago James P. Owen wrote “The Code of the West” to apply only to cowboys.

The word “cowboy” was introduced into the English language by 1725.

Cowboys were the most reckless class of outlaws in the wild country.  Even worse than the ordinary robber.  It was an insult to be called a cowboy because it suggested that it meant horse thief, robber or outlaw.

Men who herded cattle were called cattlemen or ranchers, not cowboys


Today these principles could apply to everyone.........

1. Live Each Day with Courage
2. Take Pride in Your Work                               Roy Roger
3. Always Finish What You Start
4. Do What Has to Be Done
5. Be Tough, But Fair
6. When You Make a Promise, Keep It
7. Ride for the Brand
8. Talk Less and Say More
9. Remember That Some Things Aren’t For Sale
10.Know Where to Draw the Line

Hmm looks like maybe the cowboys couldn't read so they couldn't live by the code of the west.
