	www.linecamp.com, great website!!! Now I know where you work, but maybe, just maybe, you forgot onewestern artist. Frederic Remington?? Anyone ever has the opportunity, the Will Rogers museum in Ft.Worth is definitely worth a look! Not far from the stockyards and Billy Bobs. I used to live about 15 min. from there so consequently was able to go and enjoy fairly frequently. How about the Prairie Schooner for Transport? At least in the move west?

	Tas, Being somewhat over the hill, and a tall hill it was too, I find it possible, even mandatory, to read actual books. Books were quite popular some years ago. People read them all the time. Then an insane man invented television and the world started sliding down hill fast. Anyway, I just happened to finish 'An Overland Journey" by Mr. Greeley of course. I really enjoyed his accounts of travelling thru the places of my boyhood. I noticed the title of this thread and thought I would say 'thanks for the effort to introduce a bit of culture. Go Tas max .

	This might bother Max, but Tas you omitted a great Westerner. Philo T. Farnsworth was born in a log cabin, in Indian Creek, Utah and is responable for more entertainment than all of the others combined. Now most of you wouldn't know Mr. Farnsworth, from Gabby Hayes. But because I'm addicted to reading those old fashion paper books, like Max, I can tell you he invented TV in 1930. BEAR

	If you are speaking of El Presidente Antonio Lopez De Santa Anna, he was no western entrepreneur. He DID introduce chicle to the U.S., but he did it in New York City.
