Okay, like a lot of people, I am a fan of westerns. At least 3 different western TV series prominently feature a weapon called a "Mare's Leg".I was just wondering if there actually where any Mare's…Continue

I am not a writer or a performer, nor am I a director or producer of any type. I don't have anything to sale and I don't know anyone who is especially interesting or that did anything spectacular. There are plenty of folks here at TW, that fit into the "Hollywood" category, but I am not one of them. I am just a person who has an interest in the American western era and find that TW offers something of interest to me.
I have done a few things in my life, some of them may even be interesting. But, they are not things that I generally discus and find no reason to talk about with just anyone.
Now, if you have stuck around this far, I would like to invite you to a project that I have been working on. It is called the Wild West Society. It is dedicated to the history, legend, and lore that made the west wild. It is a place for both reenactors and competitive cowboy shooter types. It is just getting started, but I hope that you will at least give it a peek.
Oh, and by the way... WWS is not an extension of any business, nor is it supported by any group or organization. But even better than that, it is free to join and to take part in.
So, come on over and check it out.

Neither Burr or Hamilton were particularly nice men so I think it rather moot about just who came out on top in 1804.Burr's imperial pretensions with the Blenerhassetts proved that he was just as much of…"

True Colors of a Man-a reflection
My own colors are a bit dark at times, I openly admit that and am a lesser person for it. My colors become darkest when my trust in another is betrayed, as has happened to me on more than one occasion.
I suppose I could chalk it up to seeing men and boys shot to death in American streets or holding a 12 year old boy as he dies from a gunshot to the head. I suppose I could chalk it up to being helpless as I watched a close friend die from gut shot. But, the fact is that I can…

Thanksgiving... older than America
Thanksgiving has been observed in the Americas since the 1600s and was probably carried with families as they traveled west. While as a nation, we observe it as a day to be thankful for the things that we have and to share with others, we tend to forget that the roots of Thanksgiving go much further back than Plymouth Rock and even Christianity.
Thanksgiving has roots in the Old testament. I will touch on it briefly, as it is relevant to the observation of Thanksgiving. Not as a… Continue

Bring'em Back
I miss westerns and I don't mean these "contemprary" westerns where two men fall in love and can't quite each other or even the gang of fashion models turned outlaw/ vengence gang.
The type of westerns I am talking about are the ones where the characters where good, bad, and ugly. They where tough men and women living in a harsh world... not in some kind of sugar coated candy land where everything was "PC".
One of the things I liked about Lonesome Dove was the political… Continue

Rubber - an essay as relavent to the "old west"
Knowing that there are a lot of people who doubt the dubiousness of using rubber for period costuming and attire, I decided to do some research into rubber, it's uses, and history of this wonderful "modern" marvel.
I was very surprised by a lot of what I discovered, as will probably most of you who happen to read this will be. While I am sure that there will always be those who disdain rubber and anything remotely modern, rubber is one of those things that probably should be readily… Continue

- Yea, and besides I learned I was not "artistic" enough to build those $5000 saddles, and that is about the only way a man could make any money at saddle making.
Now I clean and rebuild saddles and tack. I enjoy getting ahold of some of the old time saddles, like Hamleys or Miles Citys and refurbishing them.
I also work with elk and deer hide, making bags, etc.
