CowboyLegacy.org was initiated and launched by Diane Tribitt, Sr. Executive Editor of I.M. Cowgirl magazine, shortly after hearing that the international magazine was officially "closing their doors." Bringing the cowgirl's stories to an enthusiastic audience of readers has become a personal mission that will now be implemented online, world-wide. A rancher herself, Diane knows that the trials and tribulations of being a cowboy today are just as daunting as they were a hundred years ago. Different generations, different problems...but the fact remains that this chosen lifestyle is not for the meek or mild-hearted, no matter which generation you belong to. And some things never change, no matter what...there will always be tough cattle to wrangle and rough country to ride.
With the birth of this new site, Diane will continue her quest to honor the people who have committed to ensuring the continuance of the Western way of life; with the same pride and honor of cowboys who have rode before us...cowboys of both genders...as there are both women and men who can honestly lay claim to being a cowboy, a steward of the land and livestock. It also honors the league of Western artisans; artists, photographers, cooks, authors, singers, poets...bringing an additional wealth of information to you from veterinarians and healthcare providors. We even have a Western Store where you can shop for a special gift for the cowboy or cowgirl in your life!
Cowboy Legacy.org wishes to introduce itself and extend a warm welcome for you to stop by and warm up to our campfire. We look forward to forming a lasting friendship with you. Whether you are male or female - working with livestock, putting up crops, raising children, training horses, cooking meals and cleaning the barn and house leaves you with little time to spare. Your hardworking lifestyle is what you know…and what you love. It is your direct link to the Lord, the land, and the animals. Your mission to preserve and protect what you love is a fierce, endless and daily adventure. You have no need - no desire - to seek outside praise or affirmation.
…Recognizing this, Cowboy Legacy wishes to honor that lifestyle by bringing forth stories that reveal who these people are, what they do, and why they do it.
From coast to coast, there are stories to be told...stories that need to be told.
