[QUOTE="50/50Farms, post: 1777256, member: 42731"] And I never said everyone went around armed, though a good number did and I can name several prolific ones who did. Probably as many did as didn't, it being a choice and probably dependent upon where one was in the country and at what time period. Teddy Blue Abbott says in We Pointed Them North that most of the first over the trail drovers of the 60s and 70s did. Maybe I should have used a different word, but my point was that most westerns about the cattle industry in the west are more about the journey. The going, not the staying. Most focus more on rustlers, Indians, storms, stampede, ravines, lightning, etc (sounds pretty brutal to me) on the wagon trains and trail drives than on the struggles of maintaining a ranch, dealing with other big interest groups horning in, historically accurate depictions of range wars, etc. For instance, I've yet to see a movie or show that really gets into the nitty gritty of the various Sheep Wars or the Pleasant Valley War. Do you get what I was driving at now? [/QUOTE]
