How was extradition between states/terrorities handled back in the 1870-1880's? Were lawmen allowed to take a prisoner out of one state to another? Continue

I was greatly disappointed in this film. While the scenery was good, the clothing appropriate, and the plot pretty good, the film just did not do it for me. And, as usual, the saddles were all wrong.…Continue

That is interesting. I have been to the South Dakota Cultural Heritage Center Museum a number of times and I am always fascinated by their inventory.

If they are stamped 1895, they are sure not Conquistatador, but are probably modeled after the ones the Conquistatadors used. If you google "Conquistatador""saddle" you…"

Do you believe Villa was responsible for the raid on Coulmbus? I have read accounts that claim otherwise. Some postulate it was one of his rivals, while others actually believe it was set up by the US, wanting to have reason for invading…"

"While I do not believe any "dinosaurs" and humand co-existed, I am sure the early Americans did find fossils. In many cases, these led to some legends. The remains would have been worshipped in one manner or another.

I am considering making some leggings out of elk or bison hide, but I am not sure I would find a market.

Miles City, MT - what a disappointment
We drove up to Miles City yesterday, expecting to find a true old west town. What a let down. The dying downtown had very little to offer. There were, like many small towns, a lot of empty buildings. What few stores were there were closed, being Sunday, including Miles City Saddlery, which I really wanted to see. About the only businesses open were the bars.
The museum was closed also, but that may be because it was Sunday or maybe that it is only open in the summer…

Django Unchained
I haven't heard much about this but it sounds like it may be a good film. One inspiration for the film is the original 1966 spaghetti western Django.
Plot:
Django (Jamie Foxx) is a slave living in the Deep South after having been separated from his wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washington). When Django is held for a slave auction, Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz), a German bounty hunter who uses his former profession as a…

200th anniversary of one of our wars history forgot
I think this is relevant as it greatly affected our western migration and the survival of early Americans, both red and white.
Today marks the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812, a war all but forgotten in American history books. But what did that war mean for this country’s Indigenous Peoples?
The War of 1812 formally began on June 18, 1812 when President James Madison signed the Declaration of War against the United Kingdom. The war was fought for a number of…

Two-Step said… - Yeah, there seems to be a lot of saddle makers out there, so I can imagine that getting rich or even paying the bills would be tough.
With the crash in the horse market and things looking like they are going to get worse, I bet there won't be much future in it either... at least not for the independent saddle smith.

- Stan H.,
No one whats a lable, this I know, because all my life I was labled as one thing our another. But after a while I stop carrying being labled and people started to respect me and now they listen to me. They don't all agree with me, but enough now have turned to accept my words.
So, I still respect Mother-nature and treat Mother-earth with the respect she diserves, because if we don't she will give up and we as people will die away, and she will recover and start a fresh again.

- Stan, I'm not sure that I saw a feud but saw about eight people standing up to one fraud. Sorry you had to end the thread that could have been a lot of fun for everyone. That's the problem with allowing frauds and scammers to engage with those with integrity. I appreciate you taking action. This place should remain rated "G" in my opinion.

Thanks for ending your thread. As Dolan said it should have been fun and entertaining. Frauds, threats and obscenity have no place on True West.
Thank you,
