TRANSCRIPTION: In the old days thousands of good women accompanied their husbands into the wilderness of the frontier. Poverty and hard work soon took the bloom from their faces, but they were grand specimens of American womanhood for all that. As time has brought prosperity to some of the pioneer ranchers, the daughters have grown up inheriting their mothers’ brave spirits, but not tied down to such long days of toil. They are brought up to ride almost as soon as they can walk. They learn to use a man’s saddle, and if not watched would tackle the most vicious broncos in the outfit. Such a girl, as she goes out to the round-up, dressed cowboy style, and carrying a smaller edition of his weapons, is the idol of every man on the ranch. The cowboys are a rough lot, but no class in the world has higher regard for good women. Their one dread is if their employer has a daughter who is a local belle, that she will grow up to marry some “dude from the East.”
