Hello, my name is Charles
After the Civil War ended, hundreds of thousands of Americans streamed West. Defeated Confederate soldiers, weary Union cavalrymen, farmers, railroad tycoons, and more traveled Westward to make new lives for themselves. They created the Wild Wild West that many still identify with America. The lives of Jessie James, Doc Holiday, Wyatt Earp, and James West are still fodder for stories centuries later. It truly was an amazing time that revitalized a wounded nation.
