I have my case of LL novels at the side of me as I type this. Might help a bit... Foreman - I think perhaps Conn Dury from 'Kiowa Trail'. He was someone who knew cattle, and he certainly did a good job for his employer Kate Lundy. Segundo - Maybe Otis Tom Chancy (who was related to the Sacketts). He was young when LL told his story, and aspired to being is own boss, but might benefit from working with a good foreman. Bronco Buster - I'd choose Tell Sackett, as he had horse savvy, was tenacious and would see the job through. C |

Fantasy casting, yeah!
I really couldn't think of all three, but I came up with Tell as the bronc buster so I thought, well, why not, especially since Chris ALSO chose him. That told me that maybe I was on the right track.
So, for the other two how 'bout Cap Rountree for Forman and as Segundo, ol' easy going himself, Orrin. Now that's a winning line-up for you!
But I would've picked Tom Sunday as the Ranch Owner had he not gone bad on himself. That was really sad about Tom, but, that's the way LL called the play, so there you go. ... But, then again, LL had set him up with serious character flaws so I reckon it was a natural conclusion for that particular character.Cap Rountree, Orrin Sackett, and Tell Sackett.

Excerpt from The Log of a Cowboy. "Now, that's what I call a good cow boss," said Joe Stallings, as our foreman rode away in the twilight; "besides, he used passable good judgment in selecting a segundo.

Thanks to all---I still think "Segundo" is a kind of slang expression with spanish origins to refer to the foreman, however I readily admit that I truly don't know. I will need to think a bit more on this subject before making my own picks. Interesting topic IMO. LRJ Longrifle Joe |

11. "Who to hire and why? Clarification"

Segundo is the spanish word meaning second. As a way of getting three people into my question, I made an assumption of the foreman being away from the herd for awhile and appointing someone to take his place during his absence - thus a Segundo to the foreman.
