The U.S. is celebrating its 250th birthday in 2026. We believe the history of the cowboy and the historic cattle trails should be included in this celebration. A recently created group, the Historic Cattle Trails Consortium, is working with Congress to honor this legacy.
Meet Ron Wilson
Ron Wilson is a cowboy poet from the historic Lazy T Ranch near Manhattan, Kansas. Proclaimed a "Poet Lariat" (not laureate) by the Governor of Kansas, Ron chairs the annual Kansas Cowboy Poetry Contest, hosts the monthly online video show called "Cattle Trails Showcase," appears in a weekly Facebook Live video segment called "Live at the Lazy T Ranch," and produces a biweekly newspaper column called "Cowboy Up." He is the only cowboy poet in history to present a cowboy poem at a Kansas governor's inauguration. He is a spokesman for the National Day of the Cowboy organization; an Ambassador for the National Multicultural Western Heritage Museum in Fort Worth, Texas; an inductee into the Kansas Cowboy Hall of Fame; Board Chair of the Historic Cattle Trails Consortium; and national president of Western Wordsmiths. He says his poetry is all-original, humorous, family-friendly, patriotic, and most of the time, it even rhymes!
