      From: joe@blow.com              Well, I guess you could make the argument that the Wild West died in Canada       when Louis Riel's Provisional Government of the Saskatchewan was defeated by       federal forces in May 1885. There were sporadic outbursts of Indian       renegades on individual rampages but they never really formed a threat to       that many people.              Wounded Knee in January 1891 seems to mark the end of it all in the US.       Really terrible occasions in both countries.       --       Iyotake              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
