Welcome to the 48th edition of the Reel Cowboys Nooseletter. That means that this issue celebrates 4 continuous years of the Nooseletter. I think somebody owes me a breakfast. Lol. No, seriously!
 On a sad note, we lost a cherished Reel Cowboys member last month,
Stella Stevens. I have put together a memorial page for her on our website. Click here to see it.
For those you who are going to Frankie Fiore's memorial service, it is on March 10th, 2023. To protect the privacy of the family, the address of the memorial is only available to Reel Cowboys members that send an email to info@reelcowboys.org. |

| Twelve Ways to Spend Free Time |
|
| ~Selme Angulo |
| The Old West is a place of legend and lore. We’ve all read the tall tales about outlaws, gunslingers, shootouts, and skirmishes from the Great Plains to the Southwest and places farther west. Many of the shocking stories are real. Many others are embellished. For more than two centuries now, the myths of the frontier remain in American culture. But what about how life really was back then? After all, there were far more people in the Great West than just sheriffs and train robbers. How did these regular folks live? |

| ~Selme Angulo |

| Wild Burros - Forgotten Equine |
| ~Staci-lee Sherwood |
| Many people wonder what the difference is between a wild Burro and a Donkey. They are the same species. Their name differentiates them as either domesticated (donkey) or wild (burro) but they are both burros. A mule is the offspring of a female horse and a male donkey. All three have a long sordid history and relationship with people, most notably as a cheap form of transport. The wild burro was given full legal protection... |

| Saloon Cowboys |
| ~Art Saborio |
| The saloon cowboy is depicted in both movies and books. It is the Old West that made them the icon that they are today. Saloons were common in almost all cities, yet a few areas already had Mexican-style cantinas. Saloons mostly looked the same throughout the west. They had a common wooden front with a wooden boardwalk. There were always a few hitching posts to tie a horse. Often a water source would be located close by for horses to... |

| Henry McCarty, aka William Henry Bonney, aka Billy the Kid, was born on November 23, 1859, most likely in New York City.

Wild West sheriffs kept law and order on the frontier alongside fellow lawmen and the local
citizenry. They’ve been dramatized, glamorized, and exaggerated in films and literature for
generations
and
yes,
the life of a Wild West sheriff was dangerous, but it could also be weird. |
