Take your pick...
If one were to check my resume' they would find that I was an Irish immigrant making my way through the Carolinas, Tennessee and Kentucky before settling in Illinois in the early part of the century, a mountainman and free trapper during the late 20's, 30's and into the 40's, a guide and wagontrain scout for a while after that and a civilian Cavalry Scout during the Western Indian wars after having fought on both sides during the Civil War. After that, I homesteaded in Alaska. I wore the badge of a U.S. Marshall and upheld the law and I used a "running iron" to brand cattle that didn't belong to me because I wanted a few dollars to spend on a spree in town.
As a living historian/historical site docent and experimental archeologist, I've portrayed everything I mentioned in the above paragraph and a few other things besides. And drawing upon my own personal family history, I might have been any one of or, at different times, even several of the characters I mentioned.

dillinger: an outlaw. robbing banks, stealing cattle, gambling, drinking,holing up trains, chasing mexican women, sounds like a good life to me
But what about the "always running from posse's, hiding from lawmen, always checking your backtrail, never being able to trust anyone, escaping from mexican husbands, seldom getting a good night's sleep until you wind up in prison or at the end of a rope" part?

It is no wonder why my favorite movie is Tombstone.

Ha I have my history as far back on one side to 200 ad.My Cherokee g-mother and Scotish g-father,are buried in the snow bird Mts of Tenn. Had ancesters fought in the Mt man war with the redcoats.Your history is really cool.If one were to check my resume' they would find that I was an Irish immigrant making my way through the Carolinas, Tennessee and Kentucky before settling in Illinois in the early part of the century, a mountainman and free trapper during the late 20's, 30's and into the 40's, a guide and wagontrain scout for a while after that and a civilian Cavalry Scout during the Western Indian wars after having fought on both sides during the Civil War.

My Scot was Ludavic Grant.He like Cherokee: He was a trapper and was the first white man to learn the Cherokee language.Hes in all the History books as a very honporable man.My outlaw side came on the Blythes side.Whose decendent was Biii Clintons real father.------ This thread is Archived ------
