Ever see the really old westerns? They must not have had enough frames per second, so a galloping horse's legs looked blurish, very amusing, pilgrim.

Walter Brennan's Character was an old gunslinger who has two sons who were gunslingers. His catch-line whenever he was talking about the type of whuppin they would put on someone was "No brag, just fact."

I can see the actor who played the lead in The Virginia, but CRS has kicked in as far as his name goes.
I still think Hollywood did a dis-service in glorifying the wild west (and I think that I probably read every novel Louis L'Amore wrote.)

A whole generation of children over here were not only brought up on the stuff (ABC saturday morning cinema complete with radioactive badge) they believed it was real. To us (for whom the chances of actually going to the USA were about the same as going to the moon) Arizona, Texas, all those kind of places were what America really was. The bad guys ride into town, the good guys take them on. Street warfare in open spaces.
The steam engines were what fascinated me. Were they all fake, or did any Westerns use real early 20th century engines; firing them up and hoping they'd stay in one piece just long enough to get the shot?

The steam locomotives were about the only things that weren't fake. Several of them still around, and places where you can ride them on the old narrow gauge tracks.
This one comes to mind.

If you're ever out that way, Mesa Verde is also worth a stop. But if you see a plywood sign on which someone has spray painted "Indian Casino" with an arrow pointing down in the woods, I think I'd just keep going.
We did.

I may be ignert, but I ain't stoopid enough to drive down to some Indian Casino in the woods which will most likely resemble the place where Pap got shot!
