Yes. But bad ending.
To many deathes, and too realistic. Louis Lamur's books better for me.

Has that influenced your opinion on America? The wild west is a substantial part of our cultural identity IMO.

Do you mean westerns? Don't know... For me "american wild west" is something like fairy tales, although i know it was reality. I have read a lot of westerns. Mostly by Louis Lamur.
All laughing at me for loving westerns :)

bill, my grandpa read the fuck out of some Louis Lamour. I'm pretty sure he read about all of his books.
Hickock was a rider in the Pony Express, those guys were badasses. http://www.angelfire.com/ks2/butterbean ... story.html
