When Cowboys still trailed cattle north out of Texas and the Strip, the railroad offered special Cowboy rates for the trip home and the Kansas Cowboy newspaper offered reading material related to Cowboy interests of the day. 
 
All over the country, we're seeing a resurgence in recreating the Cowboy life of old. What better way to keep track of today's Cowboy interests than in the pages of the Kansas Cowboy! Join the C.O.W.B.O.Y. Society for $18.67 an' get 6 issues of the Kansas Cowboy. Cowboy adventure throughout the year! 
 
Kassi & The Cowboy tell history like they were livin’ it! In fact each issue of the Kansas Cowboy breaks new ground with historical information ya won’t find anywhere else. We're MAKING history! YOU, too, can become a part of history by supporting the C.O.W.B.O.Y. Society and the one and only Kansas Cowboy! 
 
The July/August issue features a one of a kind story, The Makings Of A Trail Blazer, Col. O. W. Wheeler, Bold, Daring & Illusive. Wheeler left home in Connecticut at 15 to seek his fortune in the California gold fields. But cattle were more to his liking. He broke the first trail to Abilene in 1867. Its a great story with unexpected adventure! 
 
The Kansas Series is by far the best history of Kansas yer gonna find anywhar. Kansas in 1882 has murder on the Chisholm Trail, a dead marshal in Caldwell and a new marshal takes the reins to clean up Dodge City. Plus the men who were dedicated to The Effort to Save the Buffalo.
