I love the idea of doing a degree partly based on the Old West. Like you I revelled in the exploits of The Virginian, The High Chapparal, Wagon Train & of course Clint in Rawhide. Much later on a brother in law lent me a set of Time Life books that covered life in the Old West. What an eye opener!! The best bit now is that I get the chance to relive all those "gun fights" of my childhood. Happy Days indeed
