Stealing horses was a high art among the tribes of the plains. A
successful raid brought honor and wealth to men while punishing enemy
tribes. Stealing horses from settlers and early cattlemen was common.
Later, as tribes relocated to reservations, bands of young men continued
the art against working cowboys, who didn’t consider horse theft noble
at all.
