Which led to different beliefs if the West was violent or not. So was The Old West really violent? The Old West was located on the Great Plains (The Great American Dessert). It was anything West of Mississippi and was between the early 1860s and 1890s. There were Plain Indians and new players who resided…

Tombstone prior to the Earps' arrival is something that history backs up in multiple places. Until the Earps tried to get a hold of the situation in Tombstone, the elderly local sheriff and the corrupt county sheriff practically yielded control to the Cowboy gang. Even when the leader manslaughters the local sheriff, the judge blows off the affair so that no tensions rise. This type of situation was common in multiple parts of the Wild West when some gang was too powerful or a people group was…

as long as I can remember. It is also the best compliment I will ever receive. If there is someone I could ever strive to be like it would be Kenneth Lampp. Sitting in his office chair with his white hair brushed back, ready to be hidden under a cowboy hat for the rest of the day. His wrinkles are like deep trenches that hold 84 years of laughter, love, war, and wisdom. You can almost read the history on his face. His eyebrows raise just a tad when he smiles. His smile, which favors his right…

The film then shows us a man and woman getting married, also finding out the man is a deputy.

High Noon is filmed in real time, the audience only know as much as the characters because everything is portrayed at the same speed between viewers…

Many movies paint half Indian…

The only human interaction I had in the past 3 days had been with either truck drivers or really scary people that traveled the country in trailers regularly. Here we were, in a foreign land, an unknown territory. I had never seen so many pairs of cowboy boots in my whole life, give or take the actors at Knott’s Berry Farm. Regardless, this is where life had taken me, to a cold desolate state known as Nebraska. I remember as a…
