The Old West! Have any three words ever inspired more imagination and interest in the American experience? From the era of the mountain men to the last mining frontier in Nevada, the cast of characters that populated the Old West offers a river of material. Homesteaders, American Indians, outlaws, gamblers, soldiers, prospectors, store-keepers, lawmen, soiled doves, Alaskan sourdoughs, gunfighters, heroic women - the list goes on and on.
