Cowboy Chronicles: Bat Masterton

Code of the West.

A cowboy always helps someone in need, even a stranger or an enemy
A cowboy is loyal to his "brand," to his friends, and those he rides with.
Never shoot a woman no matter what.
Respect the land and the environment by not smoking in hazardous fire areas, disfiguring rocks, trees, or other natural areas.
Honesty is absolute - your word is your bond, a handshake is more binding than a contract.
Live by the Golden Rule.
Look out for your own.
Defend yourself whenever necessary.
Never steal another man's horse. A horse thief pays with his life.
Don't inquire into a person's past. Take the measure of a man for what he is today
