My first introduction to cowboys was a romance novel I inherited. Much time has passed since reading the story & the author or cowboy himself have slipped my mind. But I do remember liking a romance hero in jeans, instead of a tuxedo or something else fancy. The rich hero was fun, but the more down to Jo's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01271078986113832925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-83014047704888473182013-07-27T20:22:31.165-07:002013-07-27T20:22:31.165-07:00I know I'm late but I just have to comment tha...I know I'm late but I just have to comment that Adam, Pernell Roberts, was my favorite cowboy ever. <br /><br />I'm from Calgary and yes I know some cowboys.
