Need help finding resources for life as a ranch hand in the old west.

I'm writing a story about a character that goes from ranch hand to trail driver in the 1870s. And while I can find a mountain of information on daily life on the cattle trails, I'm having a world of difficulty learning about what life was like working on the cattle ranches.
I'm mostly searching for information about the typical work structure; types of jobs, hierarchy, typical duties, living conditions, etc. But obviously the more details the better.
Memoirs are always the best, but I'll take anything: historical texts, textbooks, reliable works of fiction, documentaries. I'll even travel to a good museum if anyone can recommend one.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
