Quote:
Another thing Mr. L'Amour touched on in a Sackett novel was that one reason cowboys carried a revolver was so in the event they were thrown from their horse and dragged by their foot caught in a stirrup, they could theoretically shoot the horse to keep from being dragged to death. I don't readily recall reading where this actually happened.

and then me asking

Can you imagine what a strategy and tactics board would look like if it was mainly peopled by old west types?

So what would be some S&T and L&P thread titles if real old time, old west types had a THR like board?

The Pacific Clipper pulled into San Francisco harbor yesterday, and they say it made it from Changhai in three weeks! Talk about good winds! Anyway, my cousin's wife has a nephew who works on the docks, and he said a sailor from the Clipper told him that that Oriental Smallpox we been hearing about is getting worse. I'm glad I've got a cabin up in the mountains; I wish I had put away more hardtack and whale oil, but at least I won't have to worry about the salt pork and dry powder.

Oh, and get THIS! Some uppity Easterner all the way from Philadelphia is saying that the "learned" doctors there are saying we can cut down on disease by washing our hands TWO or even THREE TIMES A DAY, with SOAP, and that we should BATHE-in HOT WATER-Twice every WEEK!!!! Heavens, what those city folk are trying to fill our children's heads with these days! angry

And to keep this topical, "What gun for uppity Easterners?"
