What does a gaucho do?
Asked by Ashrk95
Gauchos are the cowboys of the Pampas, mostly in Argentina. At first they rounded up the herds of horses and cattle that roamed freely on the vast grasslands east of the Andes. In the early 19th century they fought in the armies that defeated the Spanish colonial regime and then for the caudillos who jockeyed for power after independence. Argentine writers have celebrated the gauchos, and gaucho literature is an important part of the Latin American cultural tradition.

Is calamity Jane a hero or outlaw?
Asked by Wiki User
She did save Captain Egan but other than that she isn't really a hero. She's not really an outlaw either even though she sometimes rode a very thin line with the law. She is more a wonderful character in American History. She wore mens clothes at a time when that was unheard of, worked jobs that men usually worked and had a huge crush on Wild Bill Hickock. She was indeed a fascinating woman and today would probably be less enchanting just because a lot of what she did would seem fairly normal today.
