There is an interesting history series on cable called “The Real West” if memory serves. David Carradine used to host it and there were spots done by historians who specialized in the wild west era. I found it interesting that one of them said that yes, there were real guntoting badguys but they stayed mainly on their own side of the cowtowns and a woman walking alone on the street was safer than in any town today. The reason given was that any tough who bothered a woman or a child knew that his bones would be resting in the cemetery before another sunset. There were civil war vets in those towns and they would not sit idly by.
