Re: Stupid questions from non-natives (Part Four)

In Germany and eastern Europe there is a lot of love for the idylical "Wild West" and Indians. See Karl May for example.

Especially in former Czechoslovakia, there was a rather large organization of people who called themselves Trampers. These people idolized the old west, they wrote country and folk music, dressed in american stylized army clothing, wore cowboy hats...

It was seen as a sort of a rebelion against the regime. People who activelly opposed the regime and tried to sabotage it were often Trampers too.

Our imagined Wild West has probably nothing to do with what really happened except for few base facts but it was a form of survival, bonding and fun in a bigotted and close-minded world.
