Hollywood vs. Reality: The Truth About the Wild West | Home Bound Historian

Think you know the Wild West? Think again. For decades, Hollywood has sold us a myth of white heroes, high-noon duels, and endless lawlessness. But the real history of the American Frontier (1865–1895) is far darker, grittier, and more diverse than any John Wayne movie.
In this documentary, we peel back the layers of fiction to reveal the fascinating truth. From the real racial makeup of cowboys to the boring reality of cattle drives, and the surprising truth about gun control in towns like Tombstone.
🎬 In This Video, We Cover:
• The Cowboy Myth: Why 1 in 4 cowboys were Black and why the job was actually boring.
• The Quick-Draw Lie: Why "High Noon" duels never actually happened.
• Law & Order: Proof that frontier towns had stricter gun control than modern cities.
If you love real history and want to separate fact from fiction, this video is for you.
