The student uses geographic tools to collect, analyze, and interpret data. 7.9 Geography. The student understands the location and characteristics of places and regions of Texas Science, technology, and society. The student understands the impact of scientific discoveries and technological innovations on the political, economic, and social development of Texas and US.24 Social Studies Skills.

The student understands domestic and foreign issues related to U.S. economic growth from the 1870s to US.20 Culture. The student understands the relationship between the arts and the times during which they were created. OBJECTIVES In this lesson students will recall information about the historical impact of railroads in the United States; map railroads, cattle trails, and railheads used in the cattle industry as well as ranches where Erwin E. Smith took photographs of cowboy life; formulate questions about cowboy life; examine Smith s photographs to gain information about cowboy life; determine how Smith s photography gives us an understanding of U.S. history; select photographs to support a point of view. ACTIVITIES Activity 1 Introduce students to Erwin E. Smith and his work by showing the video Erwin E. Smith: Cowboy Photographer, available for loan from the Carter s Teaching Resource Center (TRC). Remind students that the cattle industry Erwin Smith sought to record, including cowboys and trail drives, was stimulated by the expansion of the railroads. The cattle industry boom lasted from 1866 to 1888, and Smith took his photographs from 1905 to Why would Smith want to take photos after the cattle boom had ended? He was documenting the end of an era and wanted to create a visual record of the vanishing cowboy lifestyle.
2 Activity 2 Assess students prior knowledge about the historical impact of railroads in the United States by creating a class list or concept map of things students know about this topic. You may choose to include the following: transcontinental railroads, new markets, transportation of raw materials, effect on industrialization, stimulation of agriculture, farm issues, big business, Interstate Commerce Commission, and stimulation of the cattle industry. Focus on the effect of the railroads on the cattle industry by discussing the following questions as a class: How did the railroads impact the cattle industry? How did trail drives benefit ranchers economically? What was the role of the cowboy within the cattle industry? Activity 3 Distribute a blank map of the United States to each student. Ask students to label the railroads that were used for shipping cattle to markets Union Pacific Railroad; Kansas Pacific Railroad; Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad; the trails that cowboys used to drive the cattle to the railroads Goodnight-Loving Trail, Western Trail, Chisholm Trail; the towns where the trails met the railroads Pueblo, Denver, Cheyenne, Dodge City, Ogallala, Abilene; the regions where Smith took his photographs of cowboy life Texas, New Mexico, Arizona. Discuss the following questions after the students have completed their maps: Which direction do the railroads run? Which direction do the cattle trails run? Where do the trails originate? In which states are the railheads located? What geographical factors would be important for cowboys to consider when determining the location of the trails? Activity 4 Erwin Smith wanted to create an accurate and detailed portrayal of cowboy life, including the variety of jobs that cowboys did, the clothing they wore, and their special talents. Tell students that they will explore Smith s photographs to learn about cowboy life and the cattle industry from the information Smith captures in his images. Have each student fold a piece of notebook paper in half lengthwise. Ask students to make a list of questions about cowboy life and the cattle industry on the left side of the paper. Next, ask students to explore images of Smith s photographs in this online teaching guide or in the online collection guide. (If computer access is an issue, print out several different images of cowboy life from the online teaching guide beforehand. Distribute these copies to students to examine.) Ask students to look for information that will answer their questions and to record what they learn on the right side of the paper. After students have completed their notes, discuss the following questions: What information does Smith s photography give about the cattle industry? About cowboys? What did you learn about cowboy life that you didn t know before? Did you have questions that couldn t be answered with a photograph? What were they? What resources could you use to find answers to these questions? Why do you think Smith thought it was important to record the cowboy s lifestyle? Do you think it was important for Smith to make this visual record? Why or why not?
3 Activity 5 Ask students to use their notes to complete a graphic organizer of how Smith s photography helps us understand this period of history. (See the Understanding History organizer in Diagrams and Activities section.) Tell students to select a photo from this online teaching guide to illustrate each section of the graphic organizer. Student answers may include the following: Economics: These are images of an economic system in the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Smith s photographs illustrate the effects that railroads had on the cattle industry. Smith shows us the process of trail drives to railheads we can see both the cattle and the specific jobs that cowboys performed to transport them to the trains. Looking down from a high point on Matador longhorns grazing. Shoe Bar Ranch, Texas, 1912 LC-S6-182 Railroad station at Hereford, Arizona, shipping point for cattle from Southern Arizona, 1909 LC-S6-519 Culture: The cowboy s lifestyle is illustrated in these photographs. Smith captures the human element of the cattle industry. We can see cowboys engaged in their daily tasks and at leisure. Monclavio Lucero, Mexican bronc buster of the LS outfit, working one out in the corral. LS Ranch, Texas, 1907 Nitrate negative LC-S The Matador boys around camp fire - flashlight. Matador Ranch, Texas, 1908 LC-S6-030 Technology: These photographs illustrate the gear that cowboys used to do their jobs as well as the clothing that served a functional purpose. This visual information gives us a greater understanding of how cowboys work was accomplished. And though railroads were not the motivation for Smith s photographs, we know that technology was crucial to the cattle industry. We know that the expansion of railroads in the West prompted ranchers to organize trail drives. Smith shows us the product of this booming cattle industry cowboys driving their cattle along the trail. Finally, photographic technology was available, allowing Smith to capture a historical moment for posterity.

Turkey Track Ranch, Texas, 1906 Nitrate negative LC-S Geography: Smith s photographs show us the terrain of the southwest United States. This area was conducive to cattle ranching because of the climate and because cattle could feed on the grasses of the open range. Also, in photographs along the trail we see images of rivers and streams, reminding us that cowboys had to choose the location of their trails based on access to water resources.
