When the cattle are first started, the risk of stampedes is great. They are nervous and easily frightened, the slightest noise may startle them into running. Some cattle are stampeders by nature ....A herd was more likely to run on a dark night than on a moonlight night. The remarkable thing about it was that the whole herd started instantly, jarring the earth like an earthquake…. Taking it all in, my life on the trail was the happiest part of it. I wish I could find words to describe the companionship and loyalty of the men towards each other. It was beyond imagination ....Bullies and tyrants were unknown among them. They kept their places around a herd under all circumstances; and if they had to fight they were always ready. Timid men were not known among them—the life did not fit them ....Fewer cowboys have been tried for crimes than any other class of men. —Charles Goodnight, description of a trail drive as quoted in H.T. Burton’s "History of the J.A. Ranch,"Southwestern Historical Quarterly, 1928 6 Based on the information in the excerpt above, one reality cowboys faced on cattle drives included — F possible stampedes G criminals and bullies H surprise thunderstorms
