What HISTORY HAS TAUGHT ME
For my money the best Western movie is The Searchers. John Ford's masterpiece perfected nearly everything the genre had been to that point and shaped nearly everything that came after. That is true greatness.

FIREARMS DANIEL BOONE AND OL' TICK LICKER
While Daniel Boone is most famous for the opening of Kentucky for settlement, his exploits extend West of the Mississippi River as well. In 1799 he took his family and other settlers into Spanish territory in what is now Missouri. Even though this land was claimed by Spain, it was populated by people from the 13 Colonies.

When Josephine “Sadie” Earp (nee Marcus) decided it was time to tell the story of her life in 1937, she had a big problem. Her early life and that of her family were far from ideal, and the way she dealt with such potential embarrassments was to simply wipe them from her story, or invent a more acceptable fictional story to compensate.
