Yes. The violence of the West has always been distorted by movies and the media. Sure, there was danger. But, it mostly came from the climate, bad water, etc.

Though, I still think of the Apache and other tribes. Some say some Apache were still running around doing what Apache do in the mid 30's in Mexico. Pretty amazing.

Earl Stanley Gardner, who invented Perry Mason, loved to roam the deserts of the US and Mexico.

In one of his books, he said the last Apache raid took place in Mexico back in 1939. Yes, 1939. The Apaches were tracked down and killed out by Vaqueros after the Apaches raided a ranchero.
