20 Mule Team Wagon Train Story

Many people remember the old television show "Death Valley Days". For a time it was hosted by Ronald Reagan and it went on to be one of the longest running television shows in history. It opened each week with a familiar bugle call and made the Twenty Mule Team famous across America. The history of that image of 20 mules pulling the wagons is the subject of this film. It's an engaging look back at history and the old west and explores a one-time common means of transportation, for the mule teams were the big-rigs of their day.

... again... and one more thing... it was the Confederate women... and the "Georgia Peaches" ...and etc. that sabotaged this country... becase women wanted to be raped... and to have a different culture... becase MEN kept their marbles... and did NOT want to be enslaved by taking care of newborns... NO and NOPE... and no fucken way... so again... dogs! and NOT Dixie or Taxi or Taxes... becase women hate dogs... and dog owners... and it's that simple... it was the women who caused the civil war

...and this is another mind-fucking compromise... and another language detour... from the koo-koo-clocks... fuck time... and time and the keeping of time was done by looking up at the sun... and keeping track of the seasons... Spring... Summer ..Fall ...Winter... and it's NOT a 20 mule team... NO NO NO... it was a "20 mule pull" ...and that is where the cigarette brand Paul Malls got it's name... so again... it's a twenty NOT "dixee/dixey" NO! ...a "twenty mule pull"... but NOT a full-full NO!
