I can see Dr. Miguelito Quixote Loveless having one of those built, but with all kinds of crazy weaponry on it.

(smile) "For fighting the Mexican horse thieves…" A bit xenophobic … no?
As far as I know … horses were stolen on both sides of the border …

Typical for the time, Armand. Also, stealing a horse in the Old West was seen as the next closest thing to killing the rider yourself, given the poor chances of surviving hostile country without a horse. But yes, horses were stolen on both sides of the border. So were cattle and sheep. After all, I'm descended from Border Reivers. Dad's side of the family lived on the Western end of the border with England, while Mom's family lived on the western end of the border with Scotland. They've been raiding each other for at least a thousand years! |

my green beret trained history teacher always said might as well kill the witness(rider) cause you can only be hung once |
