How wild was the Wild West? Did cowboys wear cowboy hats? Did settlers constantly clash with indigenous tribes? Did bank-robbing outlaws rule the West? Come find out what is myth and what is the reality of the Wild West. Historian, Andrew Kercher, will share fun facts and dismantle myths that have been passed on for over a 100 years.
