Each man to fear a stranger;
Whate”er the game, we join in chase,
Despising toil and danger;
And if a daring foe annoys,
No matter what his force is,
We”ll show him that Kentucky boys
Are Alligator-horses
We are a hardy, freeborn race,
Each man to fear a stranger;
Whate”er the game, we join in chase,
Despising toil and danger;
And if a daring foe annoys,
No matter what his force is,
We”ll show him that Kentucky boys
Are Alligator-horses.

The first American cow pony was not without his cowboy. Though
the drivers were not all of the same type and though the
proprietors, so to speak, of the trans-Alleghany pack-horse trade
came generally from the older settlements, the bulk of the hard
work was done by a lusty army of men not reproduced again in
America until the picturesque figure of the cow-puncher appeared
above the western horizon. This breed of men was nurtured on the
outer confines of civilization, along the headwaters of the
Susquehanna, the Potomac, the James, and the Broad–the country
of the ‘Cowpens.’ Rough as the wilderness they occupied, made
strong by their diet of meat and curds, these Tatars of the
highlands played a part in the commercial history of America that
has never had its historian. In their knowledge of Indian
character, of horse and packsaddle lore, of the forest and its
trails in every season, these men of the Cowpens were the kings
of the old frontier.

The Lancaster Turnpike is interesting from three points of view:
it began a new period of American transportation; it ushered in
an era of speculation unheard of in the previous history of the
country; and it introduced American lawmakers to the great
problem of controlling public corporations.
