Mi chiamo Renè Jones, ho ventisei anni e di famiglia me ne intendo per esperienza diretta.

What Were American Wild West Saloons Actually Like?

by

The Hollywood version of the Wild West saloon—swinging doors, honky-tonk piano, and quick-draw duels at high noon—bears little resemblance to the gritty reality of these frontier establishments.

by

A long-suppressed account of one of the most mythologized captivities in American history is forcing a reconsideration of what actually happened to 14-year-old Olive Oatman after the massacre of her family on the Gila River in February 1851 — and why the version she told on lecture stages for decades was only a fraction of … Read more
