Abstract
The goal of this research is to analyze who the cowboys were and show how the standard set for the cowboy in novels remained consistent during the period between 1902 and 1953. The presentation allows readers to think of their idea of a cowboy and then compare it with the idea of the cowboy drawn from the books used in the research. It is a great opportunity to find out who the perfect cowboy is, what cowboys' relationships with their horses look like, what is considered good, and what is considered evil during those fifty years. Above all, the most important thing drawn from the books is the moral life lessons that will be passed to the readers of the novels, as well as the poster, with hope that they will embrace the same values.
