Many historical facts become warped and twisted by people who may have a vested interest in changing history to suit their own ideals and purposes. And there are those who love the romantic notions brought about by historical facts that are enhanced over time. Where would we be without Robin Hood and King Author? So we may dabble in the romance of the old west regardless of the facts. That's the way imaginative people roll--or so it seems. LOL<br />Loved reading the true facts of the old west, Lily. I especially liked that the last stagecoach robbery was by a woman. Sarah J.

After all, you are talking to a Texan, here! And Texas was the most gun-fightin' state? Well, pardner, it probably still is...unfortunately. Not exactly anything to be proud of.<br />Thanks for this list--it not only enlightened me, it was a joy to read.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-29752563356770330282015-08-04T09:36:18.934-05:002015-08-04T09:36:18.934-05:00Interesting post, Lily.
