Just come across this. Is it worth my time?
I would have given anything to have lived in the west. Beef and beans round the campfire, rounding up steers and into town on Saturday night, sleeping it off in jail.
What a time to be alive.
Ken Burns is awesome and accurate. He is fantastic in bringing past voices and events into focus with accuracy. Cattle drives aren't all there is. If you are one of those people that has to have fast paced historical reenactment scenes then you won't dig it at all.
I'm female and there is just no way in hell that I would go back to that time period. I'm going to need some running water, air conditioning, washing machines, voting rights, plucked chickens. The good stuff.
And indoor plumbing, esp. the water closet.
Yes, and toilet paper as we know it today.
