There's a "cowboy"* everything now so this isn't surprising.

*what they mean is gunslinger or bounty hunter, not actually a cow herder.

Late Victorian schlock had cowboys all the time. They loved that shit
Half the Sherlock Holmes resolve because Holmes works out that the victim had double crossed the notorious Texas Red in a poker game back in Agua Fria leading to Texas Red unleashing his native Indian scout to track down the cheater and shoot the dog down in London on a foggy night

His character was basically a knight. He's the token death among the men in the end, sacrificing himself for the beauty.

Muslims? I'm talking about America.
>A cowboy is an animal herder who tends cattle on ranches in North America, traditionally on horseback, and often performs a multitude of other ranch-related tasks. The historic American cowboy of the late 19th century arose from the vaquero traditions of northern Mexico and became a figure of special significance and legend.

I listened to a Vtuber read Dracula, then I watched Jerma play Dracula: Resurrection which is set as a sequel to the novel.
