What?
Specifically, if a Cowboy or Cow Hand (in 1860) was to respond to a job opening, how would they contact the employer? Telegraph? Writing?
Most likely in person.
If in writing, probably by letter, but I doubt it.
what colonies did the French found as a result of searching for the Northwest Passage?

In the late 1800s, several methods of communication were used, but the most widely used ones were telegraph and letter writing. The telegraph system enabled people to send messages over long distances using electrical signals. It involved a telegraph operator at each end who used a series of dots and dashes to transmit messages. These messages were then decoded by the operator at the receiving end.
To use the telegraph system, one would typically visit a telegraph office and dictate their message to the operator, who would then transmit it to the desired recipient. The recipient would receive the message at their nearest telegraph office and could either pick it up in person or have it delivered to their location.
Letter writing, on the other hand, involved handwritten or typed messages sent through the mail system. People would write their letters on paper, seal them in envelopes, and send them to the post office. From there, postal workers would sort, transport, and deliver the letters to their intended recipients.
To communicate through letters, one would need to have access to writing materials such as pen and paper, envelopes, and postage stamps. They would then address the envelope with the recipient's name, provide their own return address, affix the necessary postage, and drop it off at a post office or mailbox.
These methods of communication, although slower compared to modern standards, allowed people in the late 1800s to correspond with one another over long distances.
