have you ever played red dead revolver/redemption??

I played like 99% percent of Redemption (except the final scene). :D I’m not the best at video games so I had it on like super extra dummy mode, but I really liked the atmosphere and characters and getting up in the middle of the virtual night to ride around and look at the stars.

Hey, there, Just wanted to say how much I appreciate the site and your efforts. I'm more interested in the historical pictures than the "comic books" (nothing comical about western drawings). But I'm grateful for your labors.

Thank you! I like looking at both and seeing how the perception of the western myth changes over time, but I definitely find more to take away from the actual historical materials I find. Mind you, some of the older history books need to be taken with a grain of salt too. :P
