Tales of Wetherfield
Before the massacre occurred, Wetherfield Mountain was once a quiet and peaceful stop in the Pacific Northwest. But that was a long time ago.

Black Cowboys in the American West
Who were the black cowboys? They were drovers, foremen, fiddlers, cowpunchers, cattle rustlers, cooks, and singers. They worked as wranglers, riders, ropers, bulldoggers, and bronc busters.
