Wagons West

Great photos of the Dakotas around 1890http://blogs.denverpost.com/captured/2011/02/23/from-the-archive-frontier-life-in-the-west/2713/.

Cheyenne chiefs about 15 years after reading Custer the riot act
 Deadwood appears to be in full bloom, much advanced from the "camp" days as depicted in the HBO dramatic series which takes place in the late 1870s.  What a great three season run--the creators pulled the plug for their own reasons and should be shot for doing so--I'd like to see Al Swearingen once again greet a new day.

Beautiful pictures. Do yourself a favor, though, and don't read the comments at the end. America (and the blue-eyed devil) hating/blaming/denigrating at its finest/worst.

I try not to. I also tried not to drink scotch last night and eat handfulls of M&Ms but failed. Then, I tried to avert my gaze from the mirror while shaving and largely succeeded. It's the small victories...
