He said the place to keep a man huffy was down on the southern overland among the Apaches, before the company moved the stage-line up on the northern route. He said the Apaches used to annoy him all the time down there and that he came as near as anything to starving to death in the midst of abundance, because they kept him so leaky with bullet holes that he couldn't hold his vittles.

His statements were not generally believed.

Jeff Bridges leads a gang of kids west to avoid the Civil War draft. He assures them it'll be adventure; it isn't. How this manages to be bleak but not depressing is just one of its (many) achievements. A lost gem.

Westerns now, from my favourite decade: the 70s. And this is hands down one of the best.

@TheAtlantic Except the image people have of the "old west" (in reality not even a quarter century) is largely due to Hollywood via movies & television. I guarantee a whole generation thinks it was like the Ponderosa.
