Customer Reviews of On the Cowboy Trail
PBS ODYSSEY DOCUMENTARY The heyday of the American cowboy was in the last half of the nineteenth century. As the economics of ranching changed in the twentieth century, the cowboy's role became more peripheral and his image increasingly romanticized.
Cowboy culture does still exist, although barely, in southeastern Montana, where Ray Holmes rides herd for his land-owning neighbors. These include a family who owns a small but flourishing ranch, and a descendant of Ralph Waldo Emerson who runs her own small ranch virtually single-handedly. The film explores the lives of these three households and their cattle, and the imminent demise of what remains of cowboy culture. Even the land is threatened: huge strip mining operations have already encroached upon the nearby Montana grasslands.
