The boom towns of the Old West had a shortage of eligible women and that void for the lusty young men was filled by what were euphemistically referred to as good-time girls, shady ladies, soiled doves and ladies of the evening.

Sue Chapman Butcher The big mistake getting his picture taken so someone from the robberies could identify him. That'll teach him to get his picture taken

Diane Coyle Love this movie and we too can quote scenes!! The actors were spot on when in character. No one could have played a better Doc than Val Kilmer. Kurt Russel nailed Wyatt -all the actors were great in their roles!

Christopher Kilbride I maybe in a minority here, but I like the Johnny Depp Lone Ranger film. I was so dubious about going to watch it. After seeing it I thought the reviewer who's review I read saw a different film to me. I enjoyed the humour, loved the action and was impressed with the whole story. I am not a big fan of CGI in movies if it is intrusive, I didn't think it was in The Lone Ranger.

During the June 1893 Battle of Stone Corral, near Visalia, California, notorious train robber John Sontag’s stomach and shoulder wounds were so bad, he tried to kill himself by firing a shot into his own head, only making his misery worse. Sontag, surrounded below by lawmen and citizen possemen, was moved to the jail in Fresno, where he died on July 3, 1893, shortly after his 32nd birthday. California outlaw historian John Boessenecker identified the posse for us: (from left) Samuel Stingley, H.L. Rapelje, Luke Hall, George Witty, William English, Tom Burns, U.S. Marshal George Gard and journalists Jo P. Carroll and Harry Stuart. Rapelje, Burns and Gard participated in the gunfight; the fourth officer involved, Fred Jackson, was wounded and is missing from the photo.
