Almost two dozen desperate gunslingers were arrayed on the outskirts of town, armed with sixguns, rifles, scatterguns and a bloodthirsty desire to kill!

Are there any good photographic collections or photographic histories of the FPW?

Fantastic, thanks everyone! I wanted to get a feel for the land at that time as I plan my table. And also understand what the vibe was and what the participants saw. Glad this board is up and running!
