I think it's just imagination but I love old west history, I read about it every chance I can get. My favorite is the Donner party stuff.
I see Indians on paints on top of Mesas:'). My husband just rolls his eyes.
Well before I gave them up , I used to read a lot of western romances , or as my husband calls them, "smut books". Some times I walk by the books in Walmarts and still get wistful:')
