http://westernfolklife.org Tracing one family's history to the 1920s and the railroad company logging town of Maxville, Oregon. Filmmaker Gwendolyn Trice takes us along on the journey in this Deep West video that premiered at the 2009 National Cowboy Poetry Gathering. Length: 9:37 (2009, Gwendolyn Trice)
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.

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.
