DeadWood The HBO series

[DaMadman]

OK here's a question to pose.

How many people on this board would have loved to have lived in that era. No particulary the town of Deadwood but Lived in that Time period in history, when the Wild was still wild and Men were still men.


I personally have always been infatuated with that era in history. Would have loved to live back then. Live by the gun Die by the gun. Live off the land and what you could create with your own two hands. raise your own food, build your own house. Hunt and fish to feed your family.

I know that they were hard times and I suppose we have it lucky as far as the niceties we have today. But it sure would have been a hell of a way to live and die, to have lived at the end of the 1800's early 1900's.

The people I think real had to have had about the most interesting lives in history were the people of my Grandmother and Grand Fathers (on Dad's side) Generation. People that were born in the early 1900's and lived into the 1980s. I mean to grow up from a toddler when most homes did not have electricity or indoor plumbing, to see the days where there are TVs that are in color and fit in the palm of your hand or as big as wall in your house. Where there was little to no communication other than telegraphs, to the internet and computers that send picture through a wire from one side of the country to the other in a matter of minutes/seconds.
The amazement, must be mind boggling.


I was born about 120 year too late I tell ya
