Glamorized a bit.  I'm sure a bullet through any part of the body would not be pretty.  Don't get me wrong.  I enjoyed the old Westerns, but I think they greatly sanitized a period that probably saw a lot of grief and agony for all parties.

 

I remember 'The man who shot Liberty Valance'  Took a gal to see it in the early sixties.  Old John Wayne did his usual stuff.  Valance was just plain nasty.  It was good to see him get what he deserved but it would not have been pretty in real life.

Loppy's mention of tenderfoot cowboys reminded me that I have a Bing Crosby 78 of him sin

ging 'Tenderfoot'. Always liked it, so I thought you might like to hear it, (Ha!, fat chance)

I wouldn't have minded being born in the 30's, as I could have seen more steam engines, especially the transition into nationalisation, but overall, being born in 1945 was ok by me.

Although, a period of strife, struggle and austerity, I was always well fed, always had holidays, always had reasonable amounts of spending money. Lived in decent housing, certainly after the mid 1950's, enjoyed good medical care, education and lived in a relatively peaceful world. So, overall, there's not much I would change.

1880 would be my year of choice, wearing those beautiful clothes and big hats. When i was older joining the suffragette movement how i would have loved that, a great turning point for women. I have a photograph of my great aunt at a meeting maybe i could superimpose my face onto hers and pretend.  Hubby says i am losing the plot.

I want some of that magic shaving cream they have in cowboys films. Guy sits in the chair, and is called out before the barber shaves him. a qucik wipe of the foam and bingo! he's clean shaven.
