Scott Edwards Greenwood County hasn't changed much, since then. If these people stayed, they were most likely German, or Norwegian. Eureka is the biggest town, and I think it has around 3,000 people. Every other town has less than a thousand. In the spring, and summer, cattle outnumber people. The only fast food place is a Sonic, in Eureka. Greenwood County was a hotbed for meth production, a few years ago.

Rose Dunn became known as Rose of Cimarron at the age of 15 after she reportedly came to the aid of her outlaw boyfriend during a gunfight between lawmen and outlaws in Ingalls, Oklahoma Territory, in 1895. Some debate whether this photo was taken to promote the 1915 movie "The Passing of the Oklahoma Outlaws", but this photo definitely dates to the 1890s.

Patti Grant Martin She was only an "outlaw", for a few years...and later married a local politician, leading a life as a respectable woman, until her death at 76, in Washington...the Eagles song Bittercreek, and Doolin Daltons also address the life and times Of Rose....Timothy B.

Proud of the job they performed herding cattle, cowboys often posed for studio photographs, decked out in their favorite getup, just like this cowboy who proudly displays his Colt Single Action Army in this circa 1880s photo.

Kim Winthrop Hoffman Theodore was a great American and a great president. He was also the first president to invite an African American into the White House, for which he caught great flack. More than a Rough Rider, Theodore was for the citizenry--us. "The aim of government is to take care of its citizens." He was not afraid of big business. It's about time we got a square deal again.

Cattle drives typically lasted three months, so cowboys often bathed at the end of the trail before heading into a cowtown to celebrate.

Sandra Coulter It's true, bathing was a once a month thing...unless going into town more regularly. Life on a ranch even into the 40's and early 50's when they still didn't have indoor plumbing out west, bathing was done on Saturdays. But people did what was called spit baths, or pan baths...fill a wide bowl, or pan full of water and wash the " delicate" parts every day...full bath on Saturday.

Darrell Laducer This suggests that cowboys didn't bathe for three months. Its likely they bathed frequently during the three months, and especially at the end of the trail before going into town.

This 1884 cabinet card taken at the San Carlos Reservation in Arizona is the earliest known photo of Geronimo, which historian C.L. Sonnichsen captioned “the face that launched a hundred articles, stories, and novels.”

Since its introduction in 1993, Ruger’s Vaquero single-action has ranked among the most popular of six-guns with cowboy action shooters and cowboy mounted shooters, alike.

Link Borland The Ruger Bisley shown here is not the preferred gun of SASS or CMSA however, the 3 1/2 inch barrel Montado's are popular for mounted shooters, and the single six Vaquero's are nice and some SASS folks shoot them but are not as traditionally correct as a Cimmaron SAA, for those who know the difference.

Travis Hunter Bragg Never cared for Ruger at all. When it comes to SASS/CAS stuff, I use Uberti. Not just because they're a bit cheaper in some cases (I got a matched pair in .45 LC for a shade over $600, NEW), but I prefer the feel of them in my hand. 

I like the article, though. Good writeup.
