It's interesting how short a time most of the "Old West" lasted.
The Pony Express was around only a year and a half.
The open range era was only about 20 years, with its heyday quite a bit shorter.

"The 1800s, that's where I live," he said, and as he laughed the corners of his eyes crinkled. "That's the lifestyle I enjoy living. Going out and staying in the mountains with my cows. It's a great life." I can understand that.
With his long mustache, big cowboy hat, work-worn hands and chaps, Bean looks like he belongs in the dictionary under the definition of cowboy.
As a retired reporter - I hate when stories like this are printed sans photos.
