African/Mexican Cowboy: Bronco Sam Steward or Stewart

 Bronco Sam Stewart was born in Mexico.  He is of Mexican and African descent with some European mixed in.  They say he could ride anything.  He is known for riding a longhorn through Cheyenne.  The beast diverted into a store and came out decorated with clothing from its horns.  Bronco made it right with the store owner.  It is said he could ride anything.  He always wanted to try his hand at a buffalo.  He eventually settled in Laramie.  He worked for Tom Alsop.  When the Laramie River was overflowing Alsop's three-year-old son fell in.  Stewart jumped in with his clothes on and saved him.  Bronco Stewart met a tragic end.  He married and was told his wife was cheating on him.  He shot his wife and then himself.  He was always thought of as one of Wyoming's best cowboys.
