   I've been reading Bill Hart's autobiography. He lived in Minnesota and The   
   Dakotas in the 1870s and 1880s, and spoke some Sioux, as he called it, and   
   knew and played with Indian children. He knew and lived the frontier life,   
   at least in remained in the Upper Midwest then. I guess he counts, too. He   
   brought his eastern theatrical training with him to the movies, and tried to   
   maintain as realistic a portrait as he could, and still make an entertaining   
   movie by the formulas of the genre. He did some stunt work in his forties   
   and fifties that makes Jackie Chan look like a wuss! ;)
