I like the WESTERN STORY cover. I bet every trail drive had dogs to warn against rustlers or indians, not to mention rattlesnakes.
I don't know if they used cattle dogs for herding in the west, though sheep dogs were definitely used. My copy of The old-time cowhand, by Ramon F. Adams, doesn't mention it. This might have been a hunting dog, perhaps a retriever.
Florida, though, had cowboys using herd dogs. Article here talks about it.
