    Rioting Across America - The Great Depression (video)

    My grandfather, born in 1867, was a railroad worker, Southern Pacific, starting in 1887. He became a pro-union organizer. My father, born in 1904, told me that several times goons came around to beat up my grandfather as he was walking home, and shortly after the fracas would ensue the cops...

    Short brim vs. wide brim fedora

    I don't own a stingy, never will, wouldn't even accept one as a gift. Just too goofy looking to me.

    Western, anyone?

    He's not leaning against that wall, he's holding on to it.

    Hand rolled cigarettes are the best

    I enjoy every aspect of a rolled cigarette except what it does to my health. But, putting that aside for the moment . . . I enjoy the act of rolling a cig to my specs, I like the fact that it goes out when I put it down, I like smoking it to the very end. I have a French Canadian friend...

    Dialects/Accents in the Movies

    My 1930s ‘Western Swing’ Suit

    “The only store built around a corral!” I've been to Cheyenne; you could say the same about the whole entire town. That being said, the best prime rib I ever had was at Albany's in Cheyenne. If you're ever in Cheyenne go to Albany's and order the prime rib [$18] and make certain to ask...

    Nutty Neighbors

    Nope, that's America, that's middle of the stream U.S.A. Suburbia pure and simple; that's the way they like it, and that's the way its going to be for them. Conformity with a capital C. Most of their major, and minor, life decisions are made from a perspective of not wanting to stand out, or...

    Happy Drunk/Mean Drunk

    I have no use for a drunk; happy or mean. Use to throw them out my mother's bar all the time.

    John Wayne's Akubra?

    I checked that John Wayne auction out, took a look inside one of the hats; Stetson label says "XXXXXXX CLEAR BEAVER" from a store in Eagle Pass, TX. http://entertainment.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=7045&lotNo=44004#Photo

    John Wayne's Akubra?

    Sam, I think JW's hat had a 3 1/2" or 3 1/4" brim, was probably a clear beaver, and probably a Stetson. I have an older Stetson that has a 4" brim, it's a "No. 1 Quality" and it's soft enough to take any shape, and will flap in the wind because its brim is thin; so too is the brim on my 7X CB...

    Shearling Question

    A jacket might be fine at 40f walking around town, but if you get on a motorcycle it will not be as warm at speeds over 35mph. What sort of lining you get depends on what you are going to do while wearing the jacket.

    Copenhagen in the 1930s

    Thanks, loved those videos. Still plenty of bicycles in Copenhagen, but many more cars than 1930.
