John Wayne and Roy Rogers,
is a myth. Dr. William Eugene
Hollon told a group of about
90 students, faculty and com

sponsored by the Texas A&M

cowboy shouldn’t be regarded
as a hero, and in reality, might

Hollon, who received his
doctoral degree from the Uni

American West during his 25-

of Oklahoma.
Hollon said many different

screen cowboys, rodeo cow
boys, urban cowboys, steel
cowboys, rhinestone cowboys,
concrete cowboys, midnight
cowboys and commodity cow
