Sad.<br /><br />Becca, that's wonderful to hear!<br /><br />Annalisa, thank you!<br /><br />Andrew, I don't think we did. I think I would remember since I was so hooked on the Wild West. Then again, I wasn't so into the Civil War, so I guess it depends where it fit in then.<br /><br />Ladysknight, it was, wasn't it!?<br /><br />Chuck, that part I didn't know about before, either. I just knew about their post-war exploits.<br /><br />Tania, thank you!Shannon Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934641808195675935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-64643665301318533442012-04-30T00:49:55.562-06:002012-04-30T00:49:55.562-06:00Ohh just learned something new... thanks for shari...Ohh just learned something new... thanks for sharing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646134662936278718.post-30865397379330696212012-04-29T20:11:40.258-06:002012-04-29T20:11:40.258-06:00Heard plenty about the James-Younger gang.

But he was definitely one tough hombre!<br /><br />Mshatch, all I know is that it was blamed on his parole conditions, which said he couldn't start a family. Seems counter-intuitive to the process prison is intended for.<br /><br />Mina, it's definitely been my pleasure! <br /><br />Susan, that's true.
