Howdy!
Thanks for returning to our Western Word of the Day column. The next few weeks I'm drifting a little bit away from what we think of as truly "western" words to focus on some other vocabulary term that I've learned and wanted to share.
Trailblazing - being the first to conquer/discover something/somewhere
Origin of the term: People made trails in unexplored woods and marked their tracks with a "blaze" (a white mark) on a tree
