Back to the Cowhands

Back to the Future III is the ultimate example of the West romanticized. Gun draws in the streets, bandits, broads in distress, train hijackers, and Indians highlight the most romanticized infulences of the west. But such adventure was not available. Fights between Indians were not as heroic as depicted, as hundred of whites were massacred and scalped. Cowboys had a less adventurous tale, as herding cows did not have as many heroic tales in the job description, as depicted by the east coast..

Back to the Future! A different type of western...but a western nonetheless. I agree that most cowboy did not have many "heroic tales".

This was a very creative choice for this addingment and i think it shows the idea of cowboys very well.
