  The language barrier is bridged with song when American cowboys travel to Mongolia and ride horseback across the Steppe with the nomadic herdsmen of this wide-open country. This trip completed a cultural exchange that began in 2004 when a group of Mongolian herdsmen/musicians performed at the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko.
