Tim Holt-My Most Interesting True Experience-1949

Another one of those pieces that most likely was NOT actually written by the person it claims to have been written by.

Disclaimer

Since this blog is a celebration of the myths of the American Western and its cowboy heroes, it's inevitable that Native Americans, Mexicans and other minorities will be mentioned from time to time in the context of movies, TV shows or books. Note that any negative aspects in their portrayal in the media of various times is historical and does not in any way reflect the opinions of this blog nor should it be taken as a good thing! But it was there at the time and to write about it or show it here, it WILL come up. Note also that Native Americans will often be referred to as "Indians." This is again not in any way a slam but simply rather the way to which they were referred for centuries.

Thank you.

Enjoy the blog!
