This is a great series and as someone who considers himself a historian (of sorts), I find myself learning a lot about American history and the characters such as Doc Holliday, David Crockett, Jesse James, 'Black' Bart and others.

For example, I never knew that David Crockett hated being called 'Davy' and that he would shoot you if you did.  :buggedout:

True, true.

The programs about Billy The Kid and Black Bart were great, especially the idea that Billy lived on into his 90s.  :smile:
