Billy, Jesse, and other legends
Friday, August 5, 2016
Over the weekend, I watched the eighth and final segment of AMC's, "The American West." As stated in the information cover for the show -- "Spanning the years 1865 to 1890, 'The American West,' will show how -- in the aftermath of the Civil War -- the United States transforms into the 'land of opportunity.'" Once again, I was reminded of just how much, the facts, legends, and myths of the American West, shaped so much of how Americans and the rest of the world perceive us.
