  • Thanks Gwen ! Don't know you at all, but appreciate what you're doing. Good video, well done.

    One thing I have always wanted to know more about are the black cowboys of the west. I have a good friend who is/was a black cowboy and he claims about 15 - 20% of all cowboys were black. A job (back then) no one wanted ..

    Everything else aside, good job, and glad you preserved this for future generations.

    The Irshmun

  • Nostalgic... neat... well done.

  • A beautiful film. There was something haunting about it for me. Stepping into that world that no longer exists, feeling the racism that persisted even though the communities seemed to live peacefully together. It must've been a hard life. Beautiful, but hard.
