“Seems that foreigners like our old west lore.”
Yep. IIRC, even the sister of one A. Hitler said her brother was
a nut for American wild-west books.
And the Italians sure do make plenty of good replica Western-era
pistols and rifles.
I was at the Grand Canyon on a cold day in January once, and the only othe people in the restaurant or whatever at the visitor’s center were a dozen German guys in black cowboy hats, boots, spurs, etc.
