Actually that's a good point. I never think of Tx when I think of the term "wild West". But really parts of it were. West of the Pecos - I'm thinking of Judge Roy Bean, apparently he was a bit of a lad.

I usually think of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah perhaps (whoa I just got Four Corners in there).

We had a very strange family in Scotland called Sawney Bean perhaps they were related, in more ways than one.

PS Do you mean to tell me "blazing saddles" was not based on fact

I can say one thing about that film and one thing only. One scene was based on fact. I replicated the experiment and got the same results

Like the Native Indians didn't enslave and kill their rival tribes before the Americans came.
