Summary:A no-bull episode that roams the range hunting for the gritty truth behind the Old West's most enduring figure. As we introduce the cowboy's trade tools--from saddle to spurs--viewers undergo the dangers of a cattle drive. Reenactments show off the cowboy's skills, including roping, riding, shooting, and branding, as we see how the tradition lives on in rodeos. And, we shoot down reputations as we look behind the myths of legendary cowboys like John Wesley Hardin, Billy the Kid, and Tom Horn.
