What did American people look like in 1909?
well, in 1909 American men were either (if they were old) were short and fat with a moustache, that was the typical old guy look. but young men had longer hair (so no buzz cuts..haha) slicked back with brown hair ranging from light brown to almost black, you would never see anyone with black hair or blonde, that was rare. American women in 1909 were (if they were old) had long, long gray hair and were short and busty. but young women usually had long brown hair, fair skin, and the typical American woman didnt have any special facial feutures.
Why has the west had such a powerful impact on the American imagination?
The history and mythology of the Old West is symbolic of Manifest Destiny, the potential America had, and the view of the American in general. Manifest Destiny was a popular 19th century belief that Americans were destined to move westward and reach the Pacific Ocean, bringing their democracy and culture with them.

Were gunfights common in the old west?
There were actually only about 30 recorded gunfights in the Old West. They took place 1865 and 1918. The last one took place in the Galiuro Mountains, Arizona.
Were African-Americans and Native Americans enemies or friends?
From my Native American and African American background, I can tell you that my relative native american and african american families worked along side each other on the plantation. No, they probably didn't enjoy being slaves on a plantation, but it is evidence given from my 100 year old grandmother. She made a book about our family history I never forgot and the native american/ african american mixing was the most recent (meaning 1800's) further mixing of my already west indian family line. So, they were friends and a little more.
