Talk:List of Old West gunfights

Impression of this list

This list gives the impression that the later in old west period, the more shoot outs happened. I think that´s not true. There may be people who know better about the old west but I think most shoot outs happened in the 1870s before the west became "too" civilized. It just seems that the later in time period, the more documentation of gunfights was common. This list also doesn´t mention some of Wild Bill Hickocks other shoot outs like against the Mc Clanles in ´61 or his last one in Abilene in ´71. He also shot two cavalry soliders in Hays.
