[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1777242, member: 498"] Hollywood does dress those times up considerably. John Chisum, Peter French, and Ben Snipes all working cattle ranchers who became cattle barons never packed guns. There is a story about Peter French during the 1878 Bannock Indian war. A settler ran into a war party of the Indians. It was at a gate in the rim rock. The settler turned his wagon around and ran his team to Peter French's cow camp. It took the Indians a while to figure out how to open the gate. The settler beat the Indians to the cow camp. Peter, 14 cowboys, and a Chinese cook. Peter took the "only gun" they had and held off the Indians while they cowboys saddled up fresh horses for everyone. The only loss that day was the Chinese cook who wasn't use to riding. He fell off his horse and the Indians caught him. Peter and 14 cowboys with only one gun sure doesn't fit Hollywood's stories of the old west. [/QUOTE]
