I think that with the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, they were mimicking the samurai movie convention of drawing and killing with a single stroke of the katana.

I really appreciate how he's willing to kill certain myths about the West. Gives me the impression of someone who loves what he does and hates the fetishizing of the period

You can just sense how many times this expert has had to give an exasperated explanation to someone who cowboys weren't ubercool badasses living in constant danger and near a gun fight at all time.

The National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum is really a great museum, with a truly world class collection. Good to see them and their staff being involved in a great series!

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-Bccim8PC8&t=919">15:19</a> To be very fair, West World is very much an intentional, fictional depiction of the wild west in a theme park context. Most of those characters are robots and historical accuracy would be just as important to the theme park owners as it would be to most hollywood movie producers.

The photo at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-Bccim8PC8&t=896">14:56</a> is of the 9th Mississippi Infantry, encamped near Pensacola, Florida in 1861. This was my great-great-grandfather P.G. Palmer's unit. (Though grievously wounded with a minie ball through the mouth and jaw, P.G. survived the war and moved from Mississippi to Goldthwaite, Texas.) The soldiers, left to right are: Jason Peques, Kinloch Falconer, John Fennel, Jason Cunningham, Thomas W. Falconer, Jason Sims, and John T. Smith. Don't have the name of the soldier standing in the background behind Thomas Falconer.

I like the graphic with the little arrow that pointed and said, “cowboy hat”. <br><br>I was so confused at what I was looking until it was shown..

Would love to see this man's take on Unforgiven, a movie specifically designed to subvert all of the typical Western tropes and present a more grounded take on what that time in American history was like.

The Comanche in Texas were no joke. They were absolutely winning until the invention of the repeating rifle! Brutal fighting on both sides. Wearing each others skins!

The thing that bothers me about the earlier 1950s and 60s westerns is that the actors are clean cut with short mid 20th century haircuts, rarely have beards, wore clean clothes with no tears, stains, patches. They all have the standard issue Stetson and neckerchief. Nothing at all like what you would expect for folks working hard, dirty, work with few luxuries and only occasionally getting the opportunity to clean up.
