The BRUTAL Life of a Cowboy on a Cattle Drive | History For Sleep

Get early episodes & bonus perks on Patreon: https://patreon.com/DrowsyHistorianWelcome to another slow descent into history's dustier corners. In this episode, you’re not a gunslinger or a folk hero. You’re just another worn-out young man hired to move 2,000 pounds of beef across a thousand miles of miserable. No one tells you about the dysentery. Or the stampedes. Or what hardtack does to your teeth. They just hand you a rope and tell you to ride.This is the brutal, unromantic reality of life on a 19th-century cattle drive — where cowboys die young, sleep in dirt, and get paid in lies. If you make it back, congratulations. You won’t remember how to be still. You’ll just remember the dust.#CowboyHistory #CattleDrive #DarkHistory #SleepStory #HistoricalNarrative #DrowsyHistorian #AmericanWest #UnromanticWest #BoringHistory #SleepLearning #WesternHistory
