In the old west, there were also a lot of railroads. Who can remember a western movie without a railroad scene? Of course, nothing would have been possible without the railroad workers.
Unfortunately, because of labor problems and financial problems, most companies refused to provide Chinese workers with a place to stay, which meant that they became extremely overworked.
Johnny Ringo
Do you want to know who the most well-known outlaw was in the old west? It was Johnny Ringo. Johnny and his group, called the Cochise County boys, were the ultimate menaces back then and the most feared.
He was involved in the shooting of Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday, which is why they were known for being the wild group of Tombstone, Arizona. Yikes!
Villa of Brule
This photograph is of the Villa of Brule near Pine Ridge, South Dakota, and was taken by John C.H. Grabill. There was even a great Indian camp on this villa.
Do you see all the teepees? How many do you guess are in this photo? This photo was taken in 1891, and it looks like something out of a photo book!
Colorado Browns Park
This photo is of the Colorado Browns Park, which was located on the Utah Colorado Border. It was originally called Brown’s Hole. Are you a fan of dinosaurs?
Well, this isolated mountain valley contains Flaming Gorge Dam and ends at Dinosaur National Monument. Historically, it has been the safe haven for many outlaws like Butch Cassidy and Tom Horn. Super cool!
Gold Hill, Nevada
Here’s another nice nature photo. This one is of Gold Hill, Nevada, which is located just south of Virginia City. It became a famous place for mining the Comstock Lode. It was once a mining city, but now it only has a total of 191 inhabitants.
Sadly, if this place gets emptier, it will turn into a real-life ghost town! Scary! Now we are starting to wonder if it’s haunted! What do you guys think?
