I have no first hand experience at all
I live in the UK and I'm not questioning your college experience.

I'm also not about to provoke a fight. You are perceptive in saying that proceeses moved differentely in certain places.

Bedtime for me in the UK, so here's another one - Montana is West by your definition, it was largely sold by James J Hill. Would you say that current Montana is rightfully owned?

Clouded titles everywhere
That's they way they liked it in the West. I'm from NM, home of murky titles.

Thanks for the Prick-tastic conversation. We must meet sometime, discuss Western water law, and stick needles into a Dr. Shambolic doll.

We may be speaking from different perspectives
But I think we both love the subject.

Neither of us can be right from this distance in time.

John D. Unruh's "The Plains Across" is the definitive work for me.

Must look up that title!
It'd be fun to write on the West. So many untouched themes. With "Breaking Bad" I sometimes dabble on the edges.
