Excerpt
The Wild West is a window to America's glorious past. It is a place that has gone unchanged. It is a place so vast, so bare, and so lifeless, that one has only one's thoughts to resort to. This utter solitude has begged many to go west. It has scared most away. Few, however, have answered this call of the wild. But I braved the West's reputation as a land of cowboys, Indians, and gunslingers, and I traveled into this wild blue yonder. For I knew that a place where I can drive a hundred miles per hour, gamble (though not legally), and witness the most beautiful scenery in the world, was the place for me.
