I’m on the backside of 73 and I believe my first experience with TV was a westerner. Been hooked ever since. Growing up in Nevada horses, Gymkhanas, and open desert were common place. Taking horses out riding in the desert and camping out was such fun. Looking back I wish I would have realized it more back then. Even now I watch more reruns than the new special effects movies that dominate the screen. Unfortunately the western seems to be a thing of the past and if one gets made it’s usually junk grade C type. I even knew a girl named Sassy! And she was… thank you Sassy … Enjoyed your chat and story telling…

Thanks Josh for your Love of the days of our American Heritage of history that shaped this country the wild and woolly west a page in time you carved out real lives that formed my interest and I thank you 🙏 ❤
What I think is worth commenting on is to your point of things didn’t suddenly change in a 20 year period,or basically overnight. I’m a lot older , and I can attest than signifiant social changes occur over decades, with grey periods separating them. If a young fighting warrior was 16 in 1860 , he’s only going to be 36 in 1880, and still a young man and likely set in his way. Things don’t go extinct quickly, there’s always remaining pockets until that generation dies out. Excellent story telling.

That fictional story you had in the beginning made me think of how weak mentally I am. LOl😂 I thought it was about a real man at first, until you told us otherwise. I was disappointed it wasn’t real. Your have a gift from mythology and stories for sure dude. Good luck. Keep that spirit and storytelling. I like how you said, “save one bullet for yourself, but we’re not doing that we’re too mean. “ (paraphrased) That’s a great line and a great philosophy for bad situations in life. Whatever they are. Good luck.
