Published April 17, 2008 07:38 pm - The '89er Wagon Train Association will arrive in Norman Friday. Look for them - along with their horses, wagons and mules - at the Cleveland County Fairgrounds. Technology a friend to modern cowboys View Photo Gallery M. Scott Carter The Norman Transcript PURCELL - They look like cowboys.
A quick glance and you'll see the jeans, the cotton shirt and, probably, a hat. There's the rope. The chaps. The scarf. And the boots - gotta have the boots. They act like cowboys. They're on horseback or on a mule or in a wagon and they are covered in a fine patina of red dirt. Dirt and dust earned from miles and miles of Oklahoma. They have that "Western" look. That stoic, cowboy stare; the quiet nature and those small beads of sweat that leave their mark on the face. Yeah, they act like cowboys, too. But they're not. Not really. Some are retired. Some are widows. One is a 13-year-old schoolgirl from Maysville and another, a civilian employee at Fort Sill in Lawton. A couple raise cattle. One was a sheet metal worker.
