The vaquero (Spanish pronunciation: vaqueiro [vaˈkejɾu]) is a horse-mounted livestock herder of a tradition that originated on the Iberian Peninsula. Today the vaquero is still a part of the <span>doma vaquera,</span> the Spanish tradition of working riding. The vaquero traditions developed in Mexico from methodology brought to Mesoamerica from Spain also became the foundation for the North American cowboy.The vaqueros of the Americas were the horsemen and cattle herders of Spanish Mexico, who first came to California with the Jesuit priest Eusebio Kino in 1687, and later with expeditions in 1769 and the Juan Bautista de Anza expedition in 1774.[1] They were the first cowboys in the region.[2]
In the modern United States and Canada, remnants of two major and distinct vaquero traditions remain, known today as the "Texas" tradition and the "Spanish", "Vaquero", or "California" tradition. The popular "horse whisperer" style of natural horsemanship was originally developed by practitioners who were predominantly from California and the Northwestern states, clearly combining the attitudes and philosophy of the California vaquero with the equipment and outward look of the Texas cowboy. The natural horsemanship movement openly acknowledges much influence of the vaquero tradition.
The cowboys of the Great Basin still use the term "buckaroo", which may be a corruption of vaquero, to describe themselves and their tradition
"<span>b. They claimed the entire Mississippi River basin for France" would be the best option from the list, since they did not want to encroach on territory already occupied by Britain or Spain. </span>

The first true phonetic alphabet (as opposed to pictograms and syllable systems) was invented by a group generally referred to by scholars, with admirable academic caution, as "Northern Semitic". They seem to have done it almost by accident. They are very familiar with Egyptian hieroglyphs (i.e. pictograms) but they assign speech sounds rather than full words to each symbol. The alphabet they used was not identical to that used by the Phoenicians, nor is it the same as that used later, and still is today, for Hebrew. But, as strange as it may sound, all known phonetic alphabets can be traced back to their origins. It seemed that this was the kind of discovery that couldn't happen a second time because it spread so quickly after the first. (I've heard the same thing about fire and the wheel, but I haven't tried to verify it. It makes sense.) "Northern Semitic" obviously spoke Semitic. They were clearly not Egyptian, but were very familiar with Egyptian culture. Were they ever slaves in Egypt? I can't imagine any way to prove or disprove that idea. Did they also give the Bible to the world? Again, the idea is interesting but not provable.
