Who Was The Man On The Dun Horse?

 June 6, 2026

   Saw a nice review of a retrospective show at the Musuem of Modern Art about something that is near and dear to you and myself.


"The Western refuses to die. . .it merely shifts with the times, taking on new forms and donning old clothes."

—Jason Bailey in the New York Times reviewing a retrospective on Why Westerns Matter at MoMa


   Well, if I have anything to do with it, Westerns will start donning newer old clothes. Especially when it comes to the hats.

Who Was Riding The Dun Horse

   It is a mystery that has haunted the Old West historical establishment for the past century and a half. And, thanks to Mark Lee Gardner, we will finally have the definitive answer after all these years.

Who Was The Man On The Dun Horse?

      Many—one of them received a Pulizter Prize—have thought it was Jesse James but they are full of it.
