      From: nospam@abc.net              Cowboy boots, as we've come to know them with their high heels, we're only       "invented" in       the 1870s. A bootmaker in Kansas first shaped the heel and sold them to       cowboys spending       their trail money at the railhead towns.              Billy the Kid wore them too, having ordered a pair by mail.       --       Todd              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
