THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
MAVERICK"

TTSED on the Western plains
- as a term for unbranded or
ownerless cattle, the term may
erickn owes its birth to a man
named Sam Maverick, a native
of Massachusetts, who settled In
Texas in the middle of the last
century and entered the BUSH
ness Of stock-raising.
Because he believed in the
honesty of his neighbors and
also because, on humanitarian
grounds, he did not approve OF
branding his cattle with a red
hot iron, the calves born on the
Maverick ranch were allowed
to run wild and unbranded. AS
result, the less honest cattle
men would add these animals
to their own herds, placing their
distinguishing mark upon the
flank In the approved manner.
In time the expression became
current "Unbranded7 1t must
belong to Maverick" and the
term spread throughout the cat
tie country, gradually extending
it's meaning until 1t was used TO
signify anyone who refused to
recognize a master, a man who
was broad In his views and owed
allegiance to no one.
Impoverished by the lack OF
care of his cattle, Maverick died
number of years ago-but his
name usually appears at least
once in every Western story
which has any claims to atmos-
phere.
