Interesting article Template:U. New, in time, long enough, sourced, no apparent copyvios, neutral. I much prefer ALT0, which gives perspective. 9,000 can be a lot or a little, and ALT1 does not indicate which. JSTOR article says 8,000 cowboys, however, not 9,000. Also needs QPQ. --Usernameunique (talk) 23:25, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

Looks good! I prefer ALT0, as it contextualized the time frame. --Usernameunique (talk) 21:56, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
