This is a very broad question. Cowboys basically originated in Mexico. For American history of cowboys I would start by checking with the Bill Cody museum site. It also depends on when in the 1800's that you are interested in. Since until the mid-point of the century most states west of Kansas were still in the midst of the Indian wars, ranches were not a wide-spread phenomena.
