Why I Like Stories About the Old West

When I was a young boy, I enjoyed playing Cowboys and Indians. In the late 40s and early 50s, west Texas was a wonderful place to act out my childhood imagination. Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Hopalong Cassidy, and The Lone Ranger were my favorites. I wore the toy guns and holsters, chaps, and boots to get the feeling of being a real cowboy. I played all day long, pretending to shoot the bad guys and to fight the Indians. We would tie up our captives and leave them for a while to think about their crime, but somehow they always managed to escape.

From my youth to this day when I am traveling, I continue to think about what life must have been like in the old days of the west. In my mind, I see Indians crossing the vast landscape or sitting on their horses atop a nearby mountain overlooking the vast expanse below. I see wagon trains slowly rolling across the plains on their way to a new life. I think of the many hardships they must have faced in order to make a better life, and I think of the many that never made it to their destination because of accident, disease, and ambush by Indians and devious white men. It amazes me to think of the millions of buffalo that roamed the vast western plains then. A small herd of buffalo roams near my home and images of the Old West seem so real.
