Just finished a book on Colonel Greene the Tombstone Tycoon who built up a massive copper mine industry in Cananea, Mexico then died in an odd accident. Strange cat. But he is excellent stock for a character in my upcoming Border Trilogy.
Coming From Boze Studios
Before the cultural explosion that ripped the region assunder, the borderlands along the Arizona-New Mexico line were rife with industry and exploration. A new hybrid of the cowboy was being formed on both sides of the line and the style would eventually conquer the world.

Paul Gauguin Goes All In On Buffalo Bill
Vincent van Gogh's roommate in Arles attended the Buffalo Bill Wild West Congress & Rough Riders of The World show several times in Paris in 1889 and became so infatuated with the American showman and the Wild West, that Paul Gauguin bought a revolver, a big ol' hat and—get this!—"yellow-high-heeled cowboy boots" and practiced shooting tin cans.

"The Buffalo Bill Hat Painter"
All this is according to the author of Wild Child: A Life of Paul Gauguin by Sue Prideaux. She adds that Paul painted with the Buffalo Bill hat on for about a decade.
All I have to say about that is—Piker!
