the foundation of what is known as “cowboy culture” in the United States primarily comes from Mexican “vaqueros,” who were skilled horsemen and cattle herders with traditions that were adopted and developed by settlers in the American West, particularly in Texas; essentially, the Mexican vaqueros are considered the originators of the modern cowboy figure.
