In view of Gene's passing, I just watched Blazing Saddles, so that I could see him ride off into the sunset.

Cat Ballou
A spoof and pretty damn funny.
I'll never forget a drunken Lee Marvin and his equally drunk horse leaning up against that wall. What a hoot !
The unforgettable image, voice and music of Nat King Cole makes periodic appearances as he and Stubby Kaye perform as a Greek chorus.

THE UNFORGIVEN with Burt Lancaster and Audrey Hepburn
Its the best western ever made and all about racism aimed at a woman everyone loves.

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is as close to a Western as you can get without being a western...
Badjes? Badjes? We don't need no stinkin' badjes!
Maybe Key Largo too, it has Fawkin' Injuns!

"...War had unmade the world. Four years of bloodshed had paved the American landscape with gravestones. At least 620,000 soldiers had died (360,000 Union, 260,000 Confederate), more than the combined total of all the nation's other wars, before and since. Were the United States to suffer an equivalent toll at the start of the twenty-first century, almost six million people would be dead.
The South lay in ruins. Farms and villages along the paths of the major armies had been wrecked. Cities ranging from Jackson, Mississippi, to Columbia, South Carolina, from Atlanta to Richmond, were smoldering ruins. Basic infrastructure such as levees, roads, and bridges had gone unrepaired or had been destroyed by raiders from both sides. The financial capital of the rebel states had been annihilated as well, spent on arms and supplies, or converted into now worthless-Confederate bonds and currency. Across the region land values fell, crops went unplanted, workshops were unmanned.
As for slavery, the great wheel that drove the South's economy, advancing Union armies and the Emancipation Proclamation had knocked it loose, and it would soon be smashed to pieces. On January 31, 1865, the U.S. House of Representatives approved the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution; once ratified by the states, it would abolish slavery completely, without compensation or qualification. An enormous portion of the South's wealth had once been measured in human bodies, and now it would disappear..."

Jesse James: Last Rebel of the Civil War
New York, N.Y. 2002.
I first stumbled on T. J. Stiles when I picked up his most recent book, The Trials of Custer, an unusual biography of the eponymous George Armstrong Custer. I'm glad I did.
Stiles' biography of Jesse James is the book that got him noticed— and with good reason. It is thoroughly researched, well documented and well written. The reader will gain insight into the ulcer that was Missouri from 1850-1876 and, for those unfamiliar with the Second Civil War (a/k/a Reconstruction), an understanding of that greatly neglected formative period.
Not many people are acquainted with the horrific atrocities and nearly unconstrained total war conducted by the guerillas/irregulars in Missouri both before and after the well-known conflict of 1861-1865. The successful resistance to Reconstruction resulted in what was essentially attainment of many Southern goals culminating in 1876.
With the demise of Reconstruction, Jesse James' day was over. Whereas he had previously been useful to Missouri's politicians, he was now an annoyance and an embarrassment. Their sufferance was at an end.
