...The American Old West (often referred to as the Old West or Wild West) comprises the history, geography, peoples, lore, and cultural expression of life in the Western United States, most often referring to the period of the latter half of the 19th century, between the American Civil War and the end of the century. After the eighteenth century and the push beyond the Appalachian Mountains, the term is generally applied to anywhere west of the Mississippi River in earlier periods and westward from the frontier strip toward the latter part of the 19th century. More broadly, the period stretches from the early 19th century to the end of the Mexican Revolution in 1920. Read full entry

There weren't any true geographical boundaries, but the Old West was mostly cattle country - open range country with lots of space. The outlaws weren't confined to any particularl place, but plied their trade wherever they thought they could make a killing - either literally, or in cattle rustling. |

Well that's a good question. In the law it has always been 21...but as you pointed out in the Old West, or any other frontier society, that's not always been observed. It would depend on the person...if you were mature, could take care of yourself, knew how to shoot, ride, and not to insult a professional gunfighter sort of thing. Probably about 16 or 17 but it would depend on the individual. Sometimes younger. Remember that in those days you had boys as young as 12 shipping out as midshipmen in the Royal Navy. |
