Historian Mark Lee Gardner joins WIRED to answer the internet’s burning questions about the Wild West era. Who was the most dangerous outlaw in the old west? What did folks use for toilet paper way back then? How accurate is the depiction of life in the old west in “Red Dead Redemption 2?” Old west historian Mark Lee Gardner covers these questions and plenty more on Wild West Support.

Could he just break down Unforgiven? I feel it’s the most accurate Old West movie.

I like how he didn’t mention that the buffalo were mainly killed by European settlers that were trying to starve natives of their food sources.

Not only did black cowboys exist, the term cowboy is based in racism. White men were called cow hands and black men were referred to as cow boys.
