Why were they called saloons?
Maybe because if the called them churches no one would come in,,,,,lol
Joking aside, in "Cowboy Life, the Letters of George Phillip," the author points out that saloons were "men's clubs" where the locals could all ...
Just think of all the stuff that could have been different . . . .

Phillip Gessert said… - Hello Bob,
Did you read Bob Boze Bells blog about the possibility of John Travolta and Tom Cruise teaming up to do a remake of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Remember my script Faro.... I would love Cruise to be Luke and Travolta would make a fine Bill Harris or Bat Masterson... What do you think. What a shame if they are to do a western to remake one that could never be as good as the original.

Again, thanks for the link.

- Hey Sixgun,
That's for checking on the table for me and the mention of Tucker. I'll check and see what I find on him. I have been traveling over the last 5 days and would have responded sooner but was without computer access.

- Hey Bob,
Spoke with Carl about your poker table didnt have anything in his bunch right now but he is going to a big auction later this month. I told him he could contact you here on tw. Also you might be interested in taking a look at Dan (dave) Tucker a Silver City lawman who has been overlooked historicly. It wouldnt take much scripting to come up with a movie.His whole life was a movie.
