| Chinese immigrant labor in the western United States was essential to the development of industry in the West -- and led to racist resentment from white settlers, prompting the first major anti-immigrant laws in the United States to prevent further immigration from Asia. | |

| Prostitution in the Old West was as commonplace as it was in many other places at the time, but the relative freedom of the western frontier enabled many prostitutes to rise to become the owners of their own brothels. | |

| Olive Ann Oatman (1837 - 1903) was kidnapped in present-day Arizona in 1851 by an unknown Native American tribe. They later sold her to the Mohave tribe, which kept her for five years and tattooed her face with blue pigment. After being released and returned to a white settlement, she told her story in a popular "memoir" of her time in captivity. | |

| Chinese workers were initially hired for manual labor on the railroad, but were found to be highly capable of more skilled work and were soon working as tracklayers, masons, and even foremen of other railroad laborers. Their immigration to the United States would prompt one of the U.S.'s most infamous anti-immigrant backlashes in its history. | |

| James Butler Hickok (1837 - 1876), known as Wild Bill, was a legendary folk hero of the American West for his time as a soldier, lawman, gunslinger, performer, and actor. Though his legend was largely fabricated (most of it by himself), Hickok is known to have killed several men in gunfights during his lifetime. | |

| The 2000 hit film adaptation of Stephen King's novel the Green Mile, which featured a horrifying electric chair execution scene, was loosely based on the real case of 14-year-old George Stinney, who was electrocuted for the murders of two girls in 1944 | |

| Few places are as tied to the mythologizing of the American West as Dodge City, Kansas. Seen here in an 1878 photo, Dodge City was one of the major terminals for cattle drives from further west, which meant a lot of young, amped-up cowboys with guns crossed paths in and around Dodge City — and it took equally-tough lawmen to keep the peace. | |

| The lynching of John Heath in Tombstone, Arizona, in 1884 after he participated in a robbery-gone-bad that ended in a massacre. With little in the way of formal law in the Wild West, it was common for men found guilty of a heinous crime to be promptly hanged with no chance for recourse. | |

| William "Buffalo Bill" Cody (1846 - 1917) in an 1865 picture, when the famous performer was only 19 years old. When Buffalo Bill died in 1917, he was laid to rest in Golden, Colorado with mourners coming from far and wide to pay their respects to the greatest showman in the Wild West.
