The American Old West is probably most well known for stories of “cowboys vs. Indians” or “outlaws vs. lawmen.” While many stories are true, much of what we think of when we think of the Old West has been sensationalized to the point of legend. This section will include cowboys, Indians, outlaws, and lawmen, but will focus more on the biggest rivalries during that period than on individuals.
This section of the the presentation will cover the following ten Old West rivalries:
Hamilton vs. Burr (1804)
North vs. South (1861-1865)
Cowboys vs. Indians (1883-1913)
US Army vs. Indians (1775-1924)
Man vs. Wild (1836-1869)
Outlaws vs. Lawmen (1865-1890)
Government vs. Big Business (Trust-busting) (1900-1917)
Hatfields vs. McCoys (& other famous feuds) (1863-1891)
Blacks vs. Whites (the title is an obvious over-simplification) (1526-??)
