Tiny towns reverberated to the echoes of guns, music, horses and tales of derring dos from the pioneers who were pushing out the frontiers of a new country. In the 1870s, the Wild West was in its heyday. The nice guys and the bad guys from Buffalo Bill Cody to Billy the Kid were bigger than life characters. Communications were opening the States up with the Union Pacific Railroad from the East joining the tracks of the Central Pacific in the West. Cattlemen drove their herds throughout the country, some people found fortune by striking gold, others by taking it from them.
