The history of the West and America is complicated........
And some see the Old West and the True West as some forgotten remnant of the past.....
Some see the pathfinders or the frontiersmen before us and those who built America as some old, useless, forgotten remnant of the past from a bygone era...... the time of the horseshoe, the time of the gun, the time of the wild, the time of the wagon, the time of the railroad, the time of rugged individualism seems foreign and long gone to some and many have forgotten the meaning of what America stood for and what America still stands for......
But its still in some of our blood and in the blood of true Americans where the spirit of America resides...... its the type of spirit that makes this country great..... its not just the soil..... its not just the land..... its not just the people...... its in the blood/spirit.
