“People often ask me what it is about cowboys that makes them so different from the
rest of us. They want to know why the West and cowboys stand out as symbols of
American culture and values. In my mind, it is because cowboys live by the Code of the
West, a code of honor and truthfulness. They live in a world where a man’s word is his
bond and a handshake is enough to seal any agreement.”
