• Storyteller : Colt 45, single shot.You had to cock it every time you shot. It was called a peacemaker, but I haven't seen much peace that it brought.No, you guys today have that full automatic. Pull the trigger and spray. History's a funny thing. They said Columbus discovered America and the Indians were already here. That's like me telling you that I discovered your car. They call them evil red savages because they didn't give up the car soon enough. One thing about time. No matter how much or how little passes, it changes things. People forget their past. They forget the truth. But pictures don't lie. Forgotten gunslingers like Nat Love, Ison Dart, Cherokee Bill. And troops too, like the Ninth and the Tenth. See, people forget that almost one out of every three cowboys was black. Cos when the slaves were freed, a lot of them headed out west. Built their own towns. Shit. They didn't have much choice. In fact, over half the original settlers of Los Angeles were black. But for some reason, we never hear their stories. Stories like Jessie Lee and his posse.
