Answer:

It is estimated that out of every 1000 Americans 1 was a cowboy in the early 1870s.

Explanation:

The word 'cowboy' was first used in the US state of Texas around the 1860s. It was used to describe the men who, from above their horses, controlled cattle. Its existence was stimulated by the strong demand in the Northeast and Southeastern US markets. It is estimated that out of every 1,000 Americans 1 was a cowboy in the early 1870s.

The main task of the cowboys was to cross long paths carrying cattle from one city to another, where these oxen and cows would eventually be sold. Although the largest flow occurred in the state of Texas (in cities like Newton, Dodge City, or Wichita), they also operated in Montana, New Mexico, Kansas, Wyoming, Arizona, and Colorado.

In addition to driving cattle from the towns where these animals were traded to farms and commercial regions, cowboys still had to mark the cattle by identifying the animals with the symbols of the farms and their owners. For their work, these men used to earn about $ 10 a week. This money was almost certainly destined for the region's lively brothels, many bottles of alcohol and gambling (poker, roulette).
