People don't realize how much of a so-called old west is fake. It's been a tourist attraction since the 1890s. The actual old west only existed for about 20 to 25 years, from about 1860 to 1885. And most of it was faked in dime novels. I remember in the very early 1970s I was listening to the Paul Harvey Show on the radio and he said that there was not one recorded episode in the old west where 2 men stood in the street and drew their guns on each other. Like in the opening scene of Gunsmoke. I did not believe it but I've since verified that it's true. It's something that was made up in the dime novels. Most killings happened in saloons where men would shoot each other in the back. My grandfather and great-grandfather we're both born in the 19th century. One was born in 1870 and the other was born in 1890. To them the stories of the Old West we're glorious and they both read pulp fiction western novels their entire lives. They both had stacks of westerns next to the rocking chairs and they would read them all day long with big magnifying glasses. It's a time we can't even imagine now, how big the wild west myth was.

The shootout near the OK Corral was six Cochise Cowboys against the three Earp brothers and Doc Holiday. It took place on the town's Main Street in the middle of the day, so there was plenty of first-hand testimony.
From almost all accounts, the ten men met in the middle of the street, closed to within six feet of each other, and started blasting.
Arizona didn't really get civilized until well after WW1. Rustlers and smugglers owned the night, raiding on both sides of the border.
Very few people wanted to be here until electricity and plumbing came around. My county is still a free-range cattle zone. What that means is it is up to each property owner to keep cattle off their property. Not to keep your cattle in, but to keep other people's cattle out.
I've never seen numbers, but I think there are more cows than people in this county.

Not the same as two men facing off in the street and drawing their guns. That is the staple of every western tv show and every Western piece of pulp fiction ever written. And it never happened even once. There might have been fast draw gunmen, but they were not hired killers they were mostly in wild west shows. The wild west as we see it in movies and TV never happened. After the Civil War a big percentage of cowboys who worked the cattle drives were African-Americans. Do you ever remember seeing one black guy on the episode of Rawhide? It was a bottom of the barrel low-paying super crappy job and often the only ones that would do it we're former slaves.

In the west, the term cowboy was similar to the term gang-banger. Calling someone a cowboy was fighting words. Cowboys were rustlers, smugglers, dirtbags. The outlaw bikers of their time. Ranch hands and cowherds were the terms used for people in the legitimate cattle business.
The Cochise Cowboys are often referred to as America's first organized crime syndicate. Estimates are there were two to three hundred of them involved in large-scale rustling and smuggling. It was so bad that at one point, General Sherman, who was the Military Governor
of the territory, asked permission to suspend the posse comitatus act to unleash his two battalions of buffalo soldiers against them.
The cowboys even had their own town- Charleston, said to be the most violent and lawless town in the country. Papa Clanton was killed along with many of the Cowboys during a raid into Sonora and most of the others left the territory when the Arizona Rangers were formed as a quasi-military unit and shoot-on-sight orders were issued.
During the Mexican revolution, when raids across the border once again became common, the Cowboys reformed, supposedly as a neighborhood protection watch that was really just an extortion scam where they attempted to get the local towns and ranchers to pay them to protect them.
It must have been a crazy time here in SE Arizona. There are photos of buffalo soldiers in machine gun nests surrounded by sandbags protecting the business's in Bisbee and Naco and if you want to read a crazy story, look up the bombing of Naco. It's the only town in the US that was ever attacked by the air.

I have always wondered if they ever dropped any bombs from the early Civil War balloons.
But if I remember correctly they were used for reconnaissance/observation.

Hawaii wasn't a state when it was attacked. It was a territory, as were the other US bases that were attacked.

To drop a bomb ,I'd think a balloon would have to fly over the enemy position. Observation balloons were kept well behind the lines as they must have been great targets for enemy sharpshooters.

Good points about Hawaii as a territory and the balloons. Your current neck of the woods (SE AZ) sure has a lot of interesting history.

I'm not sure if I wrote about this here, but a few months ago I was able to gain access to a site on the old Slaughter Ranch that had been used in 1915-16 as a staging area for General Pershing's Punitive Expedition into Mexico. It's not usually open to the public but a friend of a friend called in a favor. I was told I could keep any small things I found- buttons, knives, etc but not to use a metal detector. There were a few adobe buildings, mostly half intact, and the remains of the latrines were there. A couple of burned-out vehicles that you can recognize, and for reasons unknown, there is a WW2 halftrack that was stripped and abandoned. I didn't stay long as there were snakes all over and I was alone.

Good point. The only Black actor I recall every seeing in a TV Western was Sammy Davis in an episode of Wild Wild West. I checked IMDB and he was also on Lawman, Zane Grey Theater, and a show I never heard of: Frontier Circus. Of the four appearances the only one where he plays a cowboy was the 1961 Lawman episode:
As for the general point that everything we read, heard, or were taught about the Wild West was B.S., remember the the lesson from "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence": when the legend becomes fact, print the legend

Until sometime after WW2, Bisbee was a " sundown town". Negroes were not allowed to be in the city limits overnight unless they were employed as domestics and a few other exceptions.
Indians, Mexicans, Negroes, and Chinese were eligible to work for the mines, but not in the mines.
There was an all-black town called Fry, mostly made up of former Buffalo Soldiers from Fort Huachuca. In the 1950s, the Federal Government seized the town under eminent domain to build a regional air strip displacing the hundred or so families.

When I was moving from Vegas to Bisbee, I hired a guy to help me prepare for the move. He was really good the first two days and told me he was a truck driver who ha his commercial license suspended for a year for not keeping proper logs. When I said that seemed harsh, he said it was his third offense.
Anyways, as the week progressed, his work got weaker and weaker and the day we were supposed to take the first truckload down, he showed up high as a kite and an hour late. There was no way he was driving, and I told him he really screwed up my plans.
He looked at me and said "It couldn't have been much of a plan if I could screw it up"

Those kind of people scare me because they know they're screw-ups, and they don't even attempt to try not being screw-ups. Like the guys you see on Live PD who gets pulled over for their fifth DWI. They don't care who they kill, they're screw-ups they and don't even try to change.

So I went in
OMG
I was completely shocked

WTF
A museum showing proof that the bible predicted Dino's and humans lived with Dino's
Dino's were on the ark.
WTF WTF WTF
I wanted to see the evidence but could not in good conscious pay the admission thereby supporting their religious BS

He's one of their biggest donors

Cant believe how stupid people are in Montana to elect a religious clown that lies about science. Museum claims bones just thousands of years old, not millions.
I expect this from the deep south like Huckabee, not MT. Sheesh

You should watch Country Joe at. Woodstock on Utube. What a classic. He was?summoned when another band did not show up. Just Joe no fish. Someone loaned him a guitar. He used a rope for a strap. Somebody was filming a documentary. Joe was not a headliner at all. Nobody was watching him.
He asked the stage manager if he could do the F*** cheer. The guy said do whatever you want. Nobody is watching you.
Well the cheer got the crowd going. When he sang his Vietnam song he was shocked people knew the words. The song lyrics tell you all you need to know about that war and all the brave young men who wasted thier lives. I am a vietnam era vet and that song says it all.

Portland yesterday somebody tried to steal my bike. I take my bike everywhere on the back of my truck. Sometimes I ride it, sometimes I leave it in the truck. Its kind of deceptive doesn't look locked up, just bungie cords. Well it is locked. Somebody undid the bungie cords probably thinking bike not locked to the truck but it is.
