Posts from Chisum in thread „Gene Autry Cowboy Code“

Hondo, you are right. We would have an even greater country.

Perhaps if we had lived by the Cowboy Code, we would be a better person today?

Here is Gene Autry's Cowboy Code:

1. The Cowboy must never shoot first, hit a smaller man or take unfair advantage.
2. He must never go back on his word, or a trust confided in him.
3. He must always tell the truth.
4. He must be gentle with children, the elderly and animals.
5. He must not advocate or possess racially or religiously intolerant ideas.
6. He must help people in distress.
7. He must be a good worker.
8. He must keep himself clean in thought, speech, action and personal habits.
9. He must respect women, parents and his nation's laws.
10. The Cowboy is a patriot.

His gravestone reads:
"A believer in our Western heritage."
